FlyWire is a community data resource containing whole brain connectome of the female adult fruit fly (FAFB dataset). As of October 2024, the flagship FlyWire paper, Neuronal wiring diagram of an adult brain, has been published in Nature, which includes 139,255 proofread neurons (Dorkenwald et al.) and over 100,000 cell label annotations. The FlyWire interface: After…

Welcome to the BANC! We’re happy you’ve decided to join us to begin proofreading in the GNG (Gnathal Ganglia) of fruit fly brain and nerve cord! If you’re coming from Eyewire, or even if you are a seasoned Flyer, with this dataset we’ll be tracking progress a little differently. We’ll be using a little friend called……

In this document we’re going to go over some common problems you are likely to come across when proofreading in FlyWire. Using these tips you’ll learn how to better spot cell structure errors, and work around tricky spots in the dataset. X-Shaped Mergers These are what you’d traditionally think of as a merger, with a…

Find the most commonly asked FlyWire questions and answers here! FlyWire is too slow! What can I do? Try switching to a server that is closer to your location. The current server locations are Maryland (USA), Princeton (USA), and Cambridge (UK). You can also reduce the resolution of the slice or mesh under the Render settings. This will…

Welcome to FlyWire, a new project to map the entire adult Drosophila (fruit fly) brain! Jump into the neuroscientific fun at flywire.ai. You’ll need a google account to participate. Why the Fly? The fruit fly has become an important scientific animal model to study over the past century. Many factors make Drosophila a great research candidate, including their…
