Data & Display Issues
A few large gene (eg. N, w, Ecol\lacZ, Scer\GAL4) and allele (eg. w+mC) report pages are slow to load.
Some insertions with sequence data in GenBank do not have "sequence location" data in FlyBase
The allele data associated with a gene cannot be viewed in its entirety on a single page
Some browsers do not print pages exactly as they appear on the screen (see Printing FlyBase pages for details)
Statements about the nature of inherited breakpoints of aberrations are not displayed
The inferred cytological map location of genome mapped genes and aberrations has not been reviewed.
The 'deleted segment' data in Aberration records have not been updated to Release 5 estimated cytology for deficiencies that were generated with insertions. Consequently, these segments may disagree with the R5 estimated cytology of deficiency breakpoints.
For release 5.2 of the genome annotation some gene models were split, generating new gene records representing new separate gene models, but temporarily all other data (such as phenotypic information) are still associated with the gene record representing the gene model before the split. For more details see FBrf0199252.
In release 5.6 the gene model for CG1021 was inadvertently deleted.
Our FASTA files containing intergenic regions are incorrect in some cases of gene overlap. In the example below the intergenic region is defined as spanning
from the end of gene A to the start of gene C. Instead it should span from the start of gene B to the start of gene C. This will be corrected in FB2008_04.
|----gene A---->|-----intergenic region----||------gene C------>
<-----gene B----|
Compound controlled vocabulary terms are not hyperlinked in phenotypic data
