Because of recent changes to government funding, the NIH grant that supported FlyBase has been “terminated.” FlyBase is now reaching out to the community for emergency funding. There are new firewalls for international funding. FlyBase therefore requests that European labs contribute to the Cambridge, U.K. FlyBase group – European PI’s received an email on how to contribute. FlyBase are working diligently to set up a mechanism to collect funds from U.S. and other labs; watch this space. In the meantime, if you are a non-European lab that would like to contribute to FlyBase, please send an email to FlyBase help and they will contact you later. Thank you in advance for your support to keep FlyBase on air and continuing to serve the Drosophila research community.
