FlyMine Search Genes

Search FlyMine specifically for Drosophila genes. This is a convenience wrapper that filters results to the Gene category only. Returns gene symbols, FlyBase gene IDs (FBgn numbers), secondary identifiers (CG numbers), and organism information. FlyMine covers 12+ Drosophila species plus other model organisms. For broader searches across all entity types, use FlyMine_search instead.
