Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10025 Dear Karin, 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: 'The PGRP-LC gene cluster, a complex region involved in the activation of the immune response.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, PGRP-LF. 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. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10025 Hi, I'm sorry that I haven't replied sooner, but I've been busy preparing stuff for the drosophila meeting. PGRP-LF corresponds to CG4437. Best wishes /Karin Karin Borge, Umea Centre for Molecular Pathogenesis (UCMP) UCMP building 6L Umea University 90187 Umea Sweden
