#Orthologs of D. melanogaster genes in a variety of arthropods, including insects and other Drosophila species, are found in the Other Organism Orthologs (via OrthoDB) subsection of the Orthologs section of FlyBase Gene Reports.
We have worked with the #OrthoDB https://www.orthodb.org/ team to implement a new API call that improves the accuracy of OrthoDB-derived orthologs shown in FlyBase.

This release brings an update to #OrthoDB in FlyBase; we've worked with the OrthoDB https://www.orthodb.org/ team to implement a new API call that improves the accuracy of OrthoDB-derived #orthologs shown in FlyBase.
We use OrthoDB for ortholog calls of Dmel genes in many organisms (other than those represented in the FlyBase implementation of DIOPT), including other Drosophila species & arthropods.
