Abstract: "Metabolites are active controllers of cellular physiology, but their role in complex behaviors is less clear. Here we report metabolic changes that occur during the transition between hunger and satiety in Drosophila melanogaster. To analyze these data in the context of fruit fly metabolic networks, we developed Flyscape, an open-access tool. ..."

Features of the FlyScape tool include linkouts to FlyBase and DIOPT ortholog search tool results (outlined in red in the screenshot image below).

You can access the FlyScape tool at the Cytoscape App Store.
