The July 2004 Drosophila virilis genome assembly (droVir1) was produced by Agencourt Bioscience (now a part of Beckman Coulter Genomics) and can be downloaded here. To see a list of the assembly's largest 1000 scaffolds ranked by size, click here.
A genome position can be specified by a scaffold coordinate range, the accession number of an mRNA or RefSeq entry, a gene name, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the D. virilis genome. Note that some position queries (e.g. "huntington") may return matches to the mRNA records of other species. In these cases, the mRNAs are mapped to their homologs in D. virilis. See the User's Guide for more information.

Agencourt Bioscience Corporation produced the 12 July 2004 assembly using the Arachne assembler. The assembly contains 27,948 scaffolds ranging in size from 90 bases to 8,062,012 bases, with a mean size of 7036.0 and a median of 1089.
Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. The droVir1 annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to this release.
