GIF-DB and FlyNets are two WWW databases describing molecular (protein-
DNA, protein-RNA and protein-protein) interactions occuring in the fly
Drosophila melanogaster (http://gifts.univ-mrs.fr/GIFTS_home_page.html ).
GIF-DB is a specialised database which focuses on molecular interactions
involved in the process of embryonic pattern formation, whereas FlyNets is
a new and more general database, the long-term goal of which is to report
on any published molecular interaction occuring in the fly. The information
content of both databases is distributed in specific lines arranged into an
EMBL- (or GenBank-) like format. These databases achieve a high level of
integration with other databases such as FlyBase, EMBL, GenBank and
SWISS-PROT through numerous hyperlinks. In addition, we also describe
SOS-DGDB, a new collection of annotated Drosophila gene sequences, in which
binding sites for regulatory proteins are directly visible on the DNA
primary sequence and hyperlinked both to GIF-DB and TRANSFAC database
entries.
