This database contains information on protein expression in the Drosophila melanogaster brain. It consists of a collection of 3D confocal datasets taken from EYFP expressing protein trap Drosophila lines from the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Further details including analysis and discussion of the results are available in the open access publication BrainTrap: a database of 3D protein expression patterns in the Drosophila brain .

Currently there are 884 brain scans from 535 protein trap lines in the database.

To get started you can:

• Search protein trap data for proteins that express in specific brain regions.
• List trapped genes to view all protein trap lines.
• List all protein trap lines currently in the database.
• List all images currently in the database.
• Use the MultiBrain feature to combine selected scans in the same view.
