Gene entries in the human Genome Database (GDB) are now linked to homologous genes in Drosophila species within the FlyBase database. These links (600+) can be found within the "Homology" section of human gene entries in GDB. FlyBase is a Drosophila genome database that contains genetic and other information collected from all current and past scientific studies on these species of fruit fly. Since all species of Drosophila are represented by FlyBase, the Homology links from any given human gene may contain several links to FlyBase. Gene symbols of the class Nnnn\* (e.g., Dgua\Hsp22) are from species other than Drosophila melanogaster. We would like to thank those at FlyBase who have made it possible to provide these links to the community, especially Michael Ashburner, Don Gilbert and Wayne Rindone. ** Amy K.
