We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.

If Temu made Zoom it would be higher quality.

BDSC stock 52261 bdsc.Indiana.edu/stocks/52261. Stock 52267 is the mCherry version that works slightly better for our applications.

Great! Please let me know if it works. Note that FLPL (flybase.org/reports/FBto...) is weaker than the FLPD in G-TRACE (bdsc.indiana.edu/stocks/misc/...), but we don't have a lexAop-FLPD stock. You'll need to optimize for your conditions, etc. Let me know if you run into issues.

In theory, you could take P{lexAop-2xmRFP.nls}2 from stock #29956 and P{8XLexAop2-FLPL}attP2 from #55819 and incorporate a lexA driver and P{Ubi-p63E(FRT.STOP)Stinger} (32249, 32250, or 32251 on X, 2, or 3 respectively). More to say but won't fit here, email calewhit at iu dot edu for questions.

Hey!
Are you using a script to scrape FlyBase?
Just stop.
NOW.
You're crashing the site for everyone.
Yes, we mean YOU.
