Subject: ADRC: 691C
Dear Jiong and Frank,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Analysis of no terminal filament, a gene involved in ovarian morphogenesis.'
You write about a new gene, ntf. Do you have a cytological location for
ntf? It is nice if we can keep as many gene records anchored to the map as
possible.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.
Subject: ntf location
Dear Dr. Drysdale,
The ntf mutant was isolated from a P-element mutagenesis screen, but
unfortunately the mutation was not caused by P-element insertion. I am
currently mapping this gene, the approximate location is 60A-D.
Sincerely yours,
Jiong Chen
