Summary: | FlyTED, the <em>Drosophila</em> Testis Gene Expression Database, is a biological research database for gene expression images from the testis of the fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>. It currently contains 2762 mRNA <em>in situ</em> hybridization images and ancillary metadata revealing the patterns of gene expression of 817 <em>Drosophila</em> genes in testes of wild type flies and of seven meiotic arrest mutant strains in which spermatogenesis is defective. This database has been built by adapting a widely used digital library repository software system, EPrints (http://eprints.org/software/), and provides both web-based search and browse interfaces, and programmatic access via an SQL dump, OAI-PMH and SPARQL. FlyTED is available at http://www.fly-ted.org/.
