Subject: ADRC: 424A
Dear Leonora,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Characterization of the Drosophila Homolog of Mad, A Transcriptional
Repressor of the Myc-Max-Mad Network.'
You describe dMad, a gene new to FlyBase. Do you have a cytological
location for dMad? It is nice if we can keep as many gene records as
possible anchored to the map. We do not prefix gene symbols with D for
Drosophila. Unfortunately the symbol Mad is already taken, for 'Mothers
against dpp', so perhaps you could suggest an alternative? We can help you
find something if you could tell us the full name of the gene in question.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
My apologizes for the delay in this response.
The dMad gene that we are presently characterizing has been cytologically
mapped to the 3E region.
I look forward to possibly meeting with you at the meeting this week.
Sincerely,
Lenora
