FlyBase Get Gene Orthologs

Get orthologs of a Drosophila gene across other species from the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns orthologous genes in human, mouse, zebrafish, worm, yeast, and other model organisms with prediction method details and best-score indicators. Essential for translational research from fly models to human disease genes. Example: 'FB:FBgn0004647' (Notch) returns orthologs including human NOTCH1-4.
