Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10396. - Zahedi, B. (2002)
Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10396 Dear Bari, 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: 'Characterization of putative effector proteins for the small GTPase Dcdc42 in Drosophila.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Cip4. 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-10396 I can tell you some stuff now and send you any sequence that I have. None of this is yet published and I still need to prove that it is an effector of Dcdc42 so please take that into consideration ( ie it is just a gene with homology to the mammalian CIP4 for now). The CG number is 15015. It originally was split into two predicted genes ( the other being CG11341)but now has been fixed ( info is on old version of scaffold AE003481 if you are interested)I have sequenced LD14951 and its translated sequence lines up with the mammalian CIP4 quite well. Please let me know if you would like any sequence data I have or if I can be of further assistance, sincerely, Bari Zahedi
