Transgenic product class added to transgene lists in Gene Reports

To help you identify particular types of transgenes and build a genetic ‘toolkit’ to study your favorite gene, the ‘Transgenic Constructs’ tables on the gene reports now contain ‘Transgenic Product class’ information that describes the nature of the encoded product (e.g. wild_type, missense_mutation, RNAi_reagent).

You can sort on the ‘Transgenic Product class’ column to see the different types of transgene available for the gene, and you can use the Filter boxes at the top of the table to narrow down the list to individual categories. Once you have filtered the list to the transgenes you are interested in, you can use the ‘Export’ button to download the filtered list or export it to a FlyBase HitList.

Examples

1. To see all RNAi constructs - simply type ‘RNAi’ in the ‘Transgenic Product class’ column.
   
2. To see all wild-type constructs driven by UAS sequences - type ‘wild’ in the ‘Transgenic Product class’ column and UAS in the ‘Regulatory region’ column.
   
   This list can then be further filtered to identify tagged UAS-wild type lines:
   1. You can type the name of a specific tag in the ‘Tagged with’ column:
      
   2. Or, you can use the ‘Tag Uses’ column to specify a broad class of tag that you are interested in, such as any fluorescent protein (you may have to use the Show/Hide Columns’ menu to display the ‘Tag Uses’ column).
