Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10457
Dear Hirotaka,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 43rd
(San Diego) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'Drosophila ENDD2, a regulator for neural cell death and degeneration
identified by gain-of-function screen.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, endd2. Do you know which of the
Genome Project CG annotations your gene corresponds to? All the CGs
have corresponding gene records in FlyBase already and we don't like to
make duplicate records for what is actually the same gene unless we
can't avoid it. If your gene does not correspond to a CG then perhaps
you could tell me its map location, as this is valuable information for
the genome annotation project.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Dr. Rachel Drysdale,
I 'd like to thank all of you and Flybase colleagues for your continuous
efforts and kindly supports in Drosophila research fields. The endd2 gene is
identical with CG9539/Sec61alpha. The accession number for the endd2 sequence
is AB062670 (CG9539/DSec61a).
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Hirotaka
