Question

[jack]

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.
