The Disease Ontology values your feedback! Please take a few moments to complete our 2025 Annual User Survey. We want to learn more about what disease information is most important to you. Your responses will help us prioritize data, tools and feature updates.

Visit DGRC booth 208 , flybase and BDSC to explore new reagents, resources, and for your research. See you there! #Dros25

All set up and ready to go #DROS25

The next cancer breakthrough might start with fruit flies. 🧐 Denise Montell’s seminar highlights how basic science fuels real medical advances. Support research funding! #Dros25 #ScienceMatters

Day1📍 The DGRC community is worldwide! Researchers from US, Brazil, Europe (Norway, Germany, UK), Asia (India, South Korea) & beyond are pinning their locations at #Dros25. Join the network & connect with fellow Drosophila scientists! Drop by Booth 208.

Exciting science and networking at #Dros25 Genetics Society of America in beautiful San Diego! Please check out the presentations from our lab on cell cycle control and the apical ECM during tubular irgan formation.

Great presentation on the mechanics of midgut coiling and twisting in a constrained space, as the organ elongates. Just as I thought about twisting balloons, Noah P Mitchell did just that. 👏 #DROS25

Knowing when cells have to stop house cleaning is just as important as when to start. Studying autophagy termination using S2-RFP-GFP-Atg8a (DGRC 290) Miriam Formica #dros25
