FlyWire Proofreading Tips
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…

Cell Labeling/Adding Annotations
Proofreading cells is one of our main objectives in FlyWire. But as we near completion on the Fly connectome, we also need help labeling proofread cells, sometimes also referred to as cell annotation. This guide will get you started on your cell annotation journey, and provide resources to helpful tools that can assist in leveling…

New Cell Drop!
We’re excited to share that today, July 21, we’ve dropped ~1,200 new cell segments into the Proofreading Queue for you to check-out! Like the previous drop of ~600 segments, these cells continue to be part of our goal to proofread the synaptic pathways of the optic lobe as they connect to the central brain of…

Optic Lobe Cell Catalog
Much of a fly’s cognitive processing power is dedicated to vision. Understanding circuits underlying vision may uncover secrets of sensory processing in other intelligent animals. Here’s an overview of the main cell types of the fly optic lobes.

Key Differences Between FlyWire & Eyewire
If you’re joining FlyWire from our original citizen science project Eyewire, you’ll have swiftly noticed that while interpreting EM slide data remains fundamentally the same between both platforms, many things on FlyWire work differently. These distinctions can be summarized under new commands, new techniques, and new challenges.
