The FlyBase Drosophila genetics database and the public interfaces of the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) and European Drosophila Genome Project (EDGP) are in the process of integrating. At present, the data of these projects are available from independent, but hyperlinked, WWW sites (FlyBase URL, http://flybase. bio.indiana.edu/; BDGP URL, http://fruitfly.berkeley.edu/; EDGP URL, http://edgp.ebi.ac.uk/ ). Because of the considerable overlap of data classes between the contributions of the Drosophila genome projects and the Drosophila community, the new and enlarged FlyBase consortium views the implementation of a single integrated Drosophila genomics/genetics server as essential to the scientific community. This integration will occur in a stepwise fashion over the next 1-2 years. In this report, the salient features of the current databases and how to interrogate and navigate the extensive data sets are discussed.
FlyBase果蝇遗传学数据库以及伯克利果蝇基因组计划（BDGP）和欧洲果蝇基因组计划（EDGP）的公共界面正在进行整合。目前，这些项目的数据可从独立但相互超链接的万维网网站获取（FlyBase网址：http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu/；BDGP网址：http://fruitfly.berkeley.edu/；EDGP网址：http://edgp.ebi.ac.uk/ ）。由于果蝇基因组计划的贡献与果蝇研究群体所贡献的数据类别有相当大的重叠，新的扩大后的FlyBase联盟认为，对科学界来说，实施一个单一的综合果蝇基因组学/遗传学服务器至关重要。这种整合将在未来1至2年内逐步实现。在本报告中，将讨论当前数据库的显著特点以及如何查询和浏览这些大量数据集。
