Subject: ADRC: 694C Hi Judith, I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington DC ADRC: 'Genetic control of hindgut morphogenesis.' You write about a new gene, drumstick. Do you have a short symbol for drumstick? If not we will just use the whole name until you do. Do you have a cytological location for drumstick? 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: Re: ADRC: 694C abbreviation is 'drm'--this should not be redundant with any known gene. Map position at moment, crude, is 23DEF/24A Dr. Judith A. Lengyel
