We cataloged the Drosophila kinome in 2002, and published it along with an evolutionary comparison to yeast, worm, and human kinomes. It included several novel kinases, improved sequences for others, and a detailed classification of the full kinome.

Evolution of protein kinase signaling from yeast to man.

All of the sequences and classification of these kinases are available through our KinBase database.
