FlyBase from the Single Cell Expression Atlas. A FlyBase frozen at its current state
means new *Drosophila* nervous-system data stops reaching VFB by that route.

**Update (5 November 2026):** VFB now curates its scRNAseq datasets itself, from GEO,
ArrayExpress and the papers ([vfb-scRNAseq](https://github.com/VirtualFlyBrain/vfb-scRNAseq)),
so that data no longer depends on FlyBase's SCEA imports. Gene, allele and stock records
still come from FlyBase.

We remain grateful to Wellcome for their continued funding of Virtual Fly Brain.
