Subject: ADRC: 161B
Dear Cheng-Hsin and Juan,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'DLDB: a protein that interacts with AP LIM domains and is required for
dorsoventral compartmentalization in the wing'
You mention a gene, Ldb, that is new to FlyBase. Do you have a full name
or a map location for this gene? It is nice if we can keep as many gene
records as possible anchored to the map. You also mention mutants -- do
you have symbols for these yet?
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
The map location is 60A. As for the definitive name we are waiting to do
some complementation tests with alleles of a gene called Chip. Based on map
location and sequence, it seems likely that Ldb is the same as Chip.
However we have been unable, so far, to obtain Chip alleles from the people
working on this gene.
Cheers
Juan Botas
