BeeSpace Question/Answering (BSQA) system is a web server that performs integrated text mining for insect biology, covering diverse aspects from molecular interactions of genes to insect behavior. BSQA recognizes a number of entities and relations in Medline documents about the model insect, Drosophila melanogaster.
DroID, the Drosophila Interactions Database, is a comprehensive public resource for Drosophila gene and protein interactions. DroID contains genetic interactions and experimentally detected protein-protein interactions curated from the literature and from external databases, and predicted protein interactions based on experiments in other species. Protein interactions are annotated with experimental details and periodically updated confidence scores. The database now includes transcription factor-gene and regulatory RNA-gene interactions. Orthologous gene mappings of Drosophila genes to other organisms are also available to facilitate finding interactions based on gene names and identifiers for a number of common model organisms and humans.
E-RNAi is a tool for designing and evaluating dsRNA constructs suitable for RNAi experiments in 12 organisms including Drosophila, C. elegans, human and other emerging model organisms. E-RNAi also facilitates the design of secondary RNAi reagents for validation experiments, evaluation of pooled siRNA reagents and batch design.
FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. FlyBase includes data on all species from the family Drosophilidae; the primary species represented is Drosophila melanogaster.
RNAhybrid is a tool for predicting miRNA (microRNA) targets by calculating the minimum free energy of hybridization between target RNA and miRNA sequences.
