How to download Gene annotations.gtf file for Drosophila melanogaster

Hi all,

I'm trying to download the genome and transcriptom annotation in GTF file format for the Drosophila melanogaster. I tried the Ensemble website, but I got lost.

Would someone help me to get those annotation files ?

Here you go! ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-77/gtf/drosophila_melanogaster

Take a look at http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ftp/index.html for more datasets.

:)

You could also go to UCSC table browser

Make sure that you have clicked

  • Clade : Insect
  • Genome : D.melanogaster
  • Assembly : select the one you want your GTF from
  • Group : Genes and Genes prediction
  • Track : select the one you want your GTF from, they have flybase, refseq, ensembl etc
  • Table : select the one you want your GTF from
  • Output format : gtf

and just get output.
