- DFAM (database of transposable elements) 3.9 is out! A lot of cool new stuff and a special update for Drosophila melanogaster... 1/2 #Transposon #DFAM
- Today we released Dfam 3.9 with many new community submissions and the result of a thorough curation and update of the Drosophila Melanogaster library. www.dfam.org (release notes: www.dfam.org/releases/Dfa...)
- Following new user submissions many previously DFAM fly model of TE families were revisited/updated, absent elements (such as P) were added, and when applicable, aliases between DFAM/Repbase/Flybase/BGDP and other publications are reported!
- P element entry: dfam.org/family/DF003...
- Worth mentioning that hmm models for D. melanogaster elements in DFAM are now seeded from additional genomes (beyond the dm6 reference), including 13 genomes from Rech. et al., 2022 (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)Mar 10, 2025 21:31
