CytoSearch lists are regional maps of the Drosophila melanogaster genome incorporating both sequence-based and cytology-based map data. Sequence-based data trumps cytology when both are available, cytology trumps meiotic data when both are available, and estimated cytology is used when only meiotic data are available. The FlyBase correspondence tables for cytological and sequence level maps are used to estimate cytology from sequence range and sequence range from cytology, for both the underlying data and the query input. |

Input Options |
Example input and notes |
|||
| Cytolocation | 67C, 12A-D, 43, 92A1 | |||
| Range limit is 2 Mbp, but your browser may timeout even within that range if volume of data is too large. If you encounter a page-not-found error, try narrowing the range or selecting fewer features. | ||||
| Sequence region | 2R:2206427..2374251 | |||
| All features whose directly determined or estimated sequence range overlaps this range will be returned. | ||||
| FlyBase ID# | FBgn0003174, CG3757-RA, FBtr0088867, CG11101-PA, FBpp0088928, FBan0011101 | |||
| All features whose directly determined or estimated sequence range overlaps the range of this gene will be returned. Any flybase ID can be used with this option. | ||||
| Gene symbol | cnn, alphaTub67C | |||
| This is a case-insensitive search of valid gene symbols. If the gene symbol is unique without regard to case, all features whose sequence range overlaps the range of this gene will be returned. Use the case-sensitive option for valid symbols that are distinguished from another valid symbol only by case. | ||||
| Use this option for gene symbols that differ from other valid symbols only by case. | ||||
| Gene synonym | CG3619, omb, ri | |||
| This is a case-insensitive search of both valid symbols and synonyms. If your input is not a unique symbol or synonym, a list of options with valid gene symbols will be displayed; use the valid gene symbol with the ‘Gene symbol’ menu option in a new CytoSearch query. | ||||
