FlyBase is looking for a few good images for our Frequently Used GAL4 and Other Binary System Drivers resource http://flybase.org/GAL4/freq_used_drivers/. If you’re at #Dros25 you can grab a flyer at booth 304, if not info: here: https://wiki.flybase.org/mediawiki/images/b/bd/BinaryDriverImageSearch.pdf
FlyBase made a fly gene themed crossword puzzle for #Dros25.
