Abstract
The sequence and genome annotations of Drosophila melanogaster were initially published in late 1999 and early 2000. Since then, the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) and FlyBase have improved the quality of the sequence and reviewed the annotations by hand, respectively, to produce an account of the fruit fly genome that is of the highest quality. This review discusses the main features of this process, both from the point of view of the biology revealed in the end result and in the development of software that has been central to this genome sequencing and annotation project.
