June already? That must mean the May #Technical_Advances are here wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase... Flag your paper when you #FTYP if you want your publication with a new resource, technique or reagent included in an upcoming month.

Do you access www.alliancegenome.org via API? A number of significant backend changes have removed or modified existing Alliance public API endpoints. You can find details in the Release Notes www.alliancegenome.org/release-notes

The Alliance has recently added a Disease Portal www.alliancegenome.org/disease-portal The top of the page includes links to Models, Genes, and Alleles annotated with Disease Ontology terms. Following any of those links takes you to the relevant section of the DO term report for 'disease' (DO:4).

www.alliancegenome.org version 9.0.0 is now live. In addition to data refreshes from each of the model organism source databases, we've added some new features and made backend improvements. Details are available in the Alliance Release notes www.alliancegenome.org/release-notes

We’re already thinking about #Dros27—and we’d love to hear from you. What are you looking forward to at next year’s meeting? Who are you hoping to connect with? Tell us below. 🔽
