Subject: ADRC-284A Dear Luke, We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming Bellevue (Seattle) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'A Drosophila homologue of the nuclear PP1 regulator NIPP-1' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, NiPp-1. Do you have a map location for NiPp-1? It is nice if we can keep as many gene records as possible anchored to the map. Thank you for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. Subject: Re: ADRC-284A Dear Rachel, The fly homologue of NIPP-1 (Nuclear Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase type 1) is at 53F, probably 53F4-5. We call it NIPP-1Dm, for obvious reasons, but if you (Flybase) are going to change the name, please let me know and I'll try to use the same name in our paper, which is currently in preparation.
