Subject: ADRC-716A
Dear Deborah,
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:
'Characterization of ET85D in the salivary gland and trachea.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, characterized via an
enhancer trap, ET85D.
Do you have a gene symbol/name for the gene identified by the enhancer
trap? Do you have a map location for the gene? 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.

Dear Rachel,
We are waiting to characterize the phenotype more fully before giving the
gene a name. The enhancer insert maps to 85D13-14. We'll send a gene
name as soon as we've settled on one.
Thanks,
Debbie
Subject: gene name
Hi Rachel,
We have decided on a gene name for the enhancer-line in region 85D (ET85D). We would like to call the gene pasilla, and abbreviate the gene name, ps.
Thanks,
Debbie
