FlyBase Get Gene Expression

Get expression summary for a Drosophila gene from the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns a ribbon summary of expression across anatomical systems (nervous system, integumental system, reproductive system, etc.) with annotation counts. Useful for understanding where a fly gene is expressed. Example: 'FB:FBgn0000490' (dpp) shows expression in alimentary system (43 annotations), integumental system (56), respiratory system (32).
