Hi Dr Goriely,
I am a curator of FlyBase working at the Cambridge, England, site with
Prof. M. Ashburner.
Prof Ashburner has noticed that the location of Gsc that you give in the
sequence record X95420:
FT /map='21C-D'
differs from that given in this abstract:
FBrf0055353 == Stella et al., 1992, A. Conf. Dros. Res. 33: 58
which is 60C-D.
Could you please clear up this confusion by telling us the correct
location?
Many thanks,
Eleanor Whitfield

Subject: gsc location (X95420)
Hi Eleanor,
Sorry for the delay about your letter, but I only got it today as I moved
to Uk a month ago. Concerning the discrepancy between a previous
publication and our submission to Flybase of D-gsc location, I can confirm
that D-Gsc is located at position 21C5-6. The previous mapping by Stella et
al. was wrong (just the wrong chromosome arm!). The ms concerning D-gsc is
in press in Development (and will come out in June 1996), there is another
paper from Jackle's lab which is currently being reviewed about the gene as
well.
