FlyMove
FlyMove
The aim of FlyMove is to utilise the advantages of multimedial presentations to facilitate
understanding of Drosophila development. FlyMove contains animations and 3D-representations,
facilitating abstraction of complex processes, morphogenetic movements or anatomic
setups. In addition, microscope images and movies help to integrate these processes with
real life. The use of electronic media allows retrieving information bit by bit into a single scheme
on screen. In addition, interactivity has been frequently implemented allowing to retrive
information at request, in individual order and speed. To convey three-dimensionality we created
camera-flights around a developing structure made by 3D-animation programs. Finally, a
„virtual microscope format allows to interactively focus through stacks of sections.
Understanding development requires, viewing how different morphogenetic processes
are integrated over time. We generated two types of movies. In „Morph-movies”, images of
selected developmental stages are combined to generate animated high quality pictures of
stained embryos. Alternatively in vivo expression of GFP is used to follow the developmental
processes in the living embryo.
The above mentioned media are combined with text and images to introduce development to
the student as well as to the lecturer who is seeking informative sources for teaching. Several
options to navigate through FlyMove are imbedded in five main folders. In addition, information
on specific topics and media can also be retrieved by search options.
The Stages folder provides an overview of the specific morphogenetic events of all embryonic
stages, accompanied by schematic drawings, movies and virtual microscopes. In Processes
we introduce important developmental mechanisms to highlight developmental principles
underlying pattern formation, morphogenesis and cellular processes. In Organogenesis, the
development of the main embryonic tissues and organs is covered. The Genetics section
provides an introduction on how to handle flies and explains principles of classical genetics.
Eventually, the main genetic circuits, including examples for signal transduction cascades
and molecular switches, will be assembled. Additional information on central methods used in
developmental biology will be added to the Methods folder.
