Subject: ADRC: 473B
Dear David,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Cloning and functional characterization of the Drosophila homolog of the
human CBF-1 Interacting Repressor (CIR).'
You describe Cir, a gene new to FlyBase. Do you have a cytological
location for Cir? It is nice if we can keep as many gene records anchored
to the map as possible. Do you have symbols for the alleles of Cir that you mention?
Could you tell us the valid symbol for the human CBF-1 Interacting
Repressor (CIR), so that we can make a cross link to the appropriate place
in the human databases?
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Rachel,
Glad to be of help. CIR is at 75E3. There's a P1 clone DS 02205 which
covers the gene. I can't say yet whether any of the lesions in the area
disrupt CIR so i'll wait on those. The human homolog is unpublished, so
I can't say much about it yet. Thanks for your interest.
