FlyBase OpenURL/LinkOut
for external database connections

FlyBase is pleased to announce the introduction of our "External Database Links" facility. For an example see: http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu/.bin/fbidq.html?FBgn0014396

Databases suitable for this kind of linking to FlyBase are those with mature data structures whose data are expressed in terms of FlyBase genetic objects that carry stable identifiers or as sequences that can be mapped to the reference sequence of a Drosophila species. We are happy to consider additions to these External Database Links. Please contact: flybase-help AT morgan.harvard.edu if you would like to contribute links from your database.

Information for database link providers can be found at: http://flybase.net/docs/lk/fbhelp/fbopenurl-info.txt
