FlyBase Get Gene Alleles

Get alleles and variants for a Drosophila gene from FlyBase via the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns allele symbols, categories (insertion, point mutation, etc.), associated phenotypes, disease annotations, and variant details including genomic coordinates. Example: 'FB:FBgn0000490' (dpp) returns alleles like dpp[MI03752] with variant location and molecular consequence.
