Browse Ligand-Receptor Pairs & Pathway Core Components
Ligand and receptor interactions as well as core components of the major signaling pathways were manually
curated from the literature, supplemented with the ligand-receptor predictions using AlphaFold Multimer.

Community Annotation
We welcome community annotations! Please submit additional ligand-receptor annotations and we will
review the submissions before adding them to the database.

Browse FlyPhone Analysis
To demonstrate the use of FlyPhone, we analyzed the communication between different cell types from
the Drosophila full-body single-cell RNA-seq dataset of Liu et al 2023
(PMID: 37292804). In addition,
the cell-cell communication events that are differentiated in Yorkie tumor fly comparing to wild type
flies were also explored and the results from this analysis are available here.

- FlyPhone2 features a new pipeline for the online tool! The standalone code has also been updated and converted into a R package.
- Knowledgebase has been updated to include about 1,800 Ligand-Receptor pairs, with additiona annotations such as the signal peptide prediction for the ligands, and TM prediction for receptors. Corresponding human/mouse L-R pairs from CellTalkDB are also included, if applicable.
- Added signaling pathway activity analysis based on the expression of receptor and reporter genes.
- Added the ability to compare two samples to identify differentiated L-R events between samples.
- Added a new use case of FlyPhone2 analysis on a recent fullbody scRNAseq dataset from Yorkie tumor flies.
