Michael. The sequences under accession \#'s U85024-34 are not Cdc42. They are for unidentified cDNA's that were selected by hybridization to a cosmid that served as a genetic duplication for a screen we performed (Fehon et al. 1997. Genetics, in press). In other words, they are partial sequences (EST's) that correspond to genes for which we are likely to have isolated mutants already. I put them in the database so that if anyone ever clones these cDNA's again they will know that we have already isolated mutations in the corresponding genes. Hope this makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't. Rick =========================== Subject: Re: Help Flybase Michael. Here are the groupings for these clones (based on cross-hybridization). The one problem I have with the naming scheme for the clones that you mentioned is that we have already adopted similar names for the unknown genetic complementation groups from the screen (ie. l(1)18DEa, l(1)18DEb, l(1)18DEc) per FlyBase conventions. I am worried that if the clones are named similarly, then people will assume that clone-a corresponds to complementation group-a, etc. We do not know that this is the case! Is there a way to avoid this potential confusion?
