Oh, hey, the November #TechnicalAdvances have posted! wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

As always, if you want your paper reporting a new technique, resource, or reagent featured in a future month, the only way to make that happen is to flag it when you #FTYP.
FlyBase:Papers with technical advances - FlyBase Wiki
Authors of the papers listed below suggest that they include a technical advance, new type of reagent, or resource likely to be useful for other researchers. Author suggestions have been collected via the Fast-Track Your Paper tool since October 2020, with those most recently submitted at the top. Please note, there will be a lag time before listed papers can be found on FlyBase (FBrf links will become active when available) and the submission date does not necessarily match the publication date of the paper.
