drosophila.me – manage your fly stocks and crosses
Posted by Mario Metzler, on 26 February 2016
Some time ago I wrote about a webpage I’ve created to manage genetic fly crosses.
In that past post, I’ve promised a new version of the software, and I’m happy to announce it here.
The software can be reached under the address http://drosophila.me. Many many things changed from the previous version, some features:
- User accounts
- Your crosses are saved by default, you can use the software as a sort of digital genetic notebook
- Crosses can be shared with colleagues (or with a qr code on a poster during a conference)
- Cross history can be followed over generations
- User can establish an own stock list and cross directly from it
- Several visualisations of a cross: punnett square, genotypes, curly bracket view
- Smartphone friendly
A web app as complex as drosophila.me is quite a code monster, and as I’m the only developer (for now), there might still be some glitches. I usually can solve them quickly, so let me know about it :)
I hope this tool will be useful for the community.

Hi there Mario!
First of all thank you for this app from a fellow UniBasel student :) It has greatly helped me to stay organized during my work. Currently, I am writing my Master thesis, and it would be really helpful to have an option to download all the cross schemes as a pdf to paste into my text. How would you recommend to input the cross schemes into my word doc most efficiently?
Thanks again.
