Useful Drosophila virus information
Last Updated 23rd March 2022
- A comprehensive list of published Drosophila viruses (excluding retroelements)
- A fasta file of known (published and unpublished) Drosophila virus sequences
- Viruses in commonly used Drosophila cell cultures (most from modENCODE data)
We will try to keep these files up to date - please let us know if you have viruses and we'll add them to the list!

Multi-species alignments for RNAi-related genes in Drosophila
These are for the benefit of my 4th year EB elective "Trees of life" (EVBI10009), but might also be useful for other people. However, if you do use them in print, an acknowledgment would be nice!
