- Peter Markstein
- Developed the core algorithm used by Genome Enhancer and wrote the original command-line Fly Enhancer program.
- Vicky Markstein
- Developed the core algorithm used by Genome Enhancer and wrote the original command-line Fly Enhancer program.
- Mike Levine, University of California, Berkeley
- Provided lab space, encouragement, expertise and the funding of Michele Markstein's graduate stipend during the development and experimental testing of Fly Enhancer.
- Ka-Ping Yee
- Implemented the Fly Enhancer algorithm as a Python extension module, optimized it, and built Python code around it to support additional search features. Created tools for importing GenBank-formatted genomes into a BioSQL database. Designed and implemented the website and graphical display of results. Co-founded Open Genomics and provided the initial server for the Fly Enhancer service.
- Michele Markstein
- Originated the idea for Fly Enhancer, guided its initial development, and conducted the first experimental tests demonstrating that Fly Enhancer can be used to investigate putative cis-regulatory codes. Co-founded Open Genomics and guides continued development of new features and the user interface.
