Received the attached from a friend who was involved in the development of
flybase.  Hope it helps.

Hi,
I read this

http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/nov2007/nhgri-07.htm

and thought it may be interesting to go get 12 assembled small genomes to
search for various polymoprhisms and test some code. I downloaded the
fasta files from flybase and hunted around their site for a while
but I couldn't figure out what the scaffold names mean or
if there is a set of assembled genomes somewhere. Anyone
have a link to relevant tutorial info? For that matter, can anyone suggest
another set of closely related organisms ( breeds within species
or cultivars among plants, I'm quite open to ideas) with small genomes
for testing?

Thanks.
