Jim Thurmond works in bioinformatics and genomics, focusing on databases and computational tools that help researchers study the genes and biology of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), a common laboratory organism. Much of this work supports FlyBase, a widely used genetic database, and includes tools for gene annotation and analyzing sets of genes. The research emphasizes building and maintaining resources that other biologists rely on.
