This version of the Drosophila genetic database has been released.
Changes from the previous release are given in the file MAINDOC.TEXT.
Note that Postscript files of this version have not been released.
The database can be obtained electronically from three sources: the
archive fileserver at the Department of Biology, Indiana University,
Bloomington, Indiana and the Netserver at EMBL, Heidelberg. In
addition these files are also available on the SEQNET facility to
registered users within the United Kingdom.
I am very grateful to Don Gilbert at Indiana, Rainer Fuchs at EMBL
and Alan Bleasby at Daresbury for making this database available in
these ways.
The files are:
o MAINDOC.TEXT - General documentation (this file)
o FUNCTIONDOC.TEXT - Documentation of FUNCTION file
o LOCIDOC.TEXT - Documentation of LOCI file
o MAPDOC.TEXT - Documentation of MAPLOCI file
o SYNONYMDOC.TEXT - Documentation of SYNONYM file
o REFSDOC.TEXT - Documentation of REFS file
o FUNCTION.TEXT - Genes sorted by function
o LOCI.TEXT - Genes sorted by gene symbols
o MAPLOCI.TEXT - Genes sorted by genetic map position
o SYNONYMS.TEXT - Table of synoyms of gene symbols
o REFS.TEXT - References
From Indiana:
The files are kept on IUBIO.BIO.INDIANA.EDU and are accessible by
FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The files are in the directory
[ARCHIVE.FLY.LOCI]. To obtain any of these files use the following
commands:
>ftp iubio.bio.indiana.edu
ftp> user: anonymous
ftp> password: guest
ftp> cd [archive.fly.loci]
ftp> get DOC.TEXT
ftp> get LOCI.TEXT
... et cetera
... or
ftp> mget *.TEXT (to retrieve all TEXT files)
ftp> bye
The numeric address of IUBIO is 129.79.1.101, if your nameserver is
as archaic as some.
From EMBL:
These files are available from the Netserver at EMBL, and if you do
not have the facility for FTP this is the way to get them. For HELP
send an e-mail message to NETSERV@EMBL.BITNET with the text HELP
DROSOPHILA. For a listing of the files on the EMBL Netserver send
the message DIR DROSOPHILA. To obtain a particular file send an
e-mail message with the text GET FILENAME to NETSERV@EMBL.BITNET,
where FILENAME is one of the filenames listed above.
From SEQNET:
The SERC SEQNET computing facility at the Daresbury Laboratory is
available to researchers in the United Kingdom. This computer
(UK.AC.DL.DLVH) can be directly accessed via JANET. For an account
write to Dr. Alan Bleasby, SERC Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington WA4
4AD, Cheshire or send e-mail to AJB@UK.AC.DARESBURY.DLVH. These
files are kept in a directory called DATA1:[DROSOPHILA].
