How To Use FlyWire for Connectomics
Welcome to FlyWire, a community connectomics project that has mapped the entire adult Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) brain! For more information, see flywire.ai. Release 630 is the default view in FlyWire and contains reconstructions of the 127,978 neurons that were proofread in the Connectome publication <bioRxiv>. 72,403 (56%) of these cells have been typed or labeled by the Drosophila community; annotation…

Expert Proofreading Tips for the BANC (Brain and Nerve Cord) Dataset
Here are some proofreading tips specific to the BANC (Brain and Nerve Cord) dataset in FlyWire. Using Mitochondria For Continuations For this particular dataset, you may often find that the dark mitochondria in a branch cause the AI to grow confused and terminate the branch instead of finding the extension. However, although most mitochondria don’t…

BANC Proofreading 101: Climb into Spelunker
Spelunker is the latest neuroglancer platform for proofreading and annotating large electron microscopy datasets. Whether you’re brand new to proofreading or or need some guidance while getting acquainted with the updated platform, this tutorial will help get going. Request access to BANC at https://flywire.ai/banc Interface overview Let’s begin by taking a look at the spelunker interface.…

FlyWire Data Challenge: Feedforward Sort with Minimum Feedback
In this challenge our goal is to order neurons from the fly connectome in a maximally “feedforward” way. The high level motivation is gaining insights into the direction of information flow in the brain. The FlyWire connectome is modeled as a directed graph G=(V,E) where V – nodes – represent neurons, and E – weighted…
