FlyBase Get Gene Expression

Get expression annotations for a Drosophila gene from the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns per-annotation records of developmental stage (whenExpressed) and anatomical location (whereExpressed) for the gene, plus the total annotation count. Example: 'FB:FBgn0000490' (dpp) has 317 expression annotations such as 'embryonic stage 14' in 'abdominal transverse muscle cell'. Useful for understanding when and where a fly gene is expressed.
