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…

Finding Paths in Codex
With this tool you can specify one or more source cells + one or more target cells, set a minimum synapse threshold per connection, and get a matrix with shortest path lengths for all source/target pairs. From there, you can inspect / visualize the pathways between any pair of cells in detail.

BANC Guide for Citizen Scientists
Hello, intrepid explorers of the microscopic universe! FlyWire’s recent 4 year adventure into connectomics mapped the entire brain of a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) at synapse resolution. We’re thrilled to announce the next endeavor: The BANC (Brain and Nerve Cord), a dataset generated by Jasper Phelps and Minsu Kim for Wei-Chung Lee’s Lab at Harvard…

Visual Columns Mapping Challenge
If you are good at programming / data analysis / algorithms and like challenges read on! FlyWire is issuing its first Data Challenge. Data Challenge: A wiring diagram of a brain is modeled as a directed graph with weighted edges, where nodes represent neurons and edges represent synaptic connections (weight = # synapses). In this…

FlyWire Winter ’23 Update
It’s officially the start of the fall and winter holidays here in the northern hemisphere. Time to break out the hot drinks and relax by the warmth of the computer while you do a little connectome exploration. It’s been a while since we updated the blog (and we’ll try to do this more frequently).ere is…

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…

Optic Lobe Tag Rally
The FlyWire connectome contains over 127,000 proofread cells, ~73,000 of which are in the optic lobes (OL). While ~50,000 cells in the brain have labels, as of this post (May 2023), only 27% of neurons in the optic lobes are labeled (~20K cells). We hereby request the help of all FlyWire community members to complete…

One Year of Citizen Science in FlyWire
On April 28, 2022, the first citizen scientists were invited to FlyWire. Today, one year later the connectome nears completion and the flagship FlyWire publication is on the horizon. Our seventeen Flyers proofread 16,316 neurons and annotated 21,151 cells. Thank you for this truly phenomenal effort. The First annkri and bl4ckscor3 were the first Flyers…

Hierarchical Cell Annotations in FlyWire
Guest post by Philipp Schlegel, Cambridge Connectomics/Jefferis Lab Dear FlyWire community, As promised during the town hall meeting on March 30, 2023, here is a neuroglancer link with a couple layers you might find useful: The annotation labels won’t work with the FlyWire neuroglancer (yet) but you should be able to drag & drop the other layers…
