what happened to the DHGP website? (linked from the dm3 Browser Gateway)

[Hervé Pagès]

Hello,

Does anyone know what happened to the Drosophila Heterochromatin Genome
Project (DHGP) website?

It's linked from the dm3 Browser Gateway:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway?db=dm3

Following the link (http://dhgp.org/) takes me to a place about
vacation deals, restaurants, how to keep your body fit, etc...

Googling DHGP takes me to the same place.

Sorry for asking here and not to the DHGP people but I can't find them :-/

Thanks,
H.

Hi Hervé,

Thank you for bringing this incorrect link on the dm3 gateway page to our attention, I will change it soon. We've been informed that the DHGP website has been retired. As an alternative, you can check out the websites for the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP), http://www.fruitfly.org/, and FlyBase, http://flybase.org/. The information from the DHGP site often mirrored what was on these BDGP and FlyBase sites. If you would like more information on the dm3 assembly and the heterochromatin sequences used in this assembly, I recommend looking at the following resources:

• BDGP Release notes, http://www.fruitfly.org/data/sequence/README.RELEASE5
• DHGP publication 'Sequence finishing and mapping of Drosophila melanogaster heterochromatin', http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17569867
  

I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reply to gen...@soe.ucsc.edu. All messages sent to that address are archived on a publicly-accessible Google Groups forum. If your question includes sensitive data, you may send it instead to genom...@soe.ucsc.edu.
