About the project
In a collaborative effort with the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) and Celera Genomics, we have mapped and sequenced the euchromatic portion of the Drosophila melanogaster genome. Release of the drosophila sequence was in 2002 (link). The Drosophila Genome Project was funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Cancer Institute, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

BCM-HGSC data
Fingerprint assemblies are available as gif files and as raw data on the BCM-HGSC FTP site. STS content maps are available for 3L and X. -
Flybase BLAST—Searches all Drosophila reads and provides links to the individual matched sequences through the NCBI.
