VFB works closely with the FlyBase team and we rely on their hard work to provide many of our features. Due to the current funding situation at FlyBase (flybase.org), we encourage our users to donate and help maintain this essential resource.

🧠 VFB just expanded NBLAST similarity scores to include male-CNS optic lobe & FAFB-FlyWire datasets! Now easier to find morphologically similar neurons across connectomes & identify potential split-GAL4 drivers. Big win for #neuroscience #flyresearch 🔬 virtualflybrain.org/blog/2025/05...
