Helping FlyBase: ADRC-11010. - Chen, H. (2002)
Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-11010 Dear Hua-Wei, 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: 'mom identifies a receptor for the Drosophila JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway and encodes a protein distantly related to the mammalian cytokine receptor family.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, mom. 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. We noticed that your group has recently published a paper describing a receptor for the JAK/STAT pathway: \*x FBrf0141438 == Brown et al., 2001, Curr. Biol. 11(21): 1700--1705 Is mom by any chance the same gene as dome? Thank you very much for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-11010 Dear Rachel, The mom is the same gene as dome.
