Subject: Help FlyBase - fs(3)225-19
Hi,
I am curating a paper of yours for FlyBase:
FBrf0100046 == Gonzalez-Reyes et al., 1997, Development 124(24): 4927--4937
in which you discuss mutation fs(3)225-19 (described by Tearle and
Nusslein-Volhard) being allelic to the gene spn-D.
The information in the Red Book suggests fs(3)225-19 is in fact allelic to
spn-B (allele spn-B3).
Have you made an error or are you correcting data in the Red Book?
Please contact me as soon as possible regarding this matter,
Regards,
Eleanor Whitfield

Dear Eleanor,
Following our telephone conversation, I am writing to you to confirm that
fs(3)225-19 is indeed allelic to spn-D, and not to spn-B as stated in the
Red Book. I may add that I have done the complementation tests of the
different spn genes with 225-19 and found only spn-D to be allelic to
225-19.
Best regards,
Acaimo
