Gene List Annotation for Drosophila (GLAD) online resource updated

October 19, 2016

We recently udpated our Gene List Annotation for Drosophila (GLAD) online resource.  At GLAD you could already view the members of a gene list, such as genes grouped as members of a pathway, process, or sharing a functional domain. Now, you can also ask if a gene of interest is a member of a given group. Please see examples of the two ways to use GLAD below. As always, we welcome your feedback, including suggestions for changes or additions to the curated lists, or for addition of new...

Click on the button "show summary of top scores" to see a heat map view of the top-scoring ortholog matches in other species to your query species. This feature helps you see quickly if a gene has been conserved across many species or is, for example, only found in vertebrates.

As always, our tool supports batch-mode searches (you can...
