Subject: FlyBase query
Dear Dr. Engels,
I am curating your paper for FlyBase:
Kusano et al., 1999, Genetics 151(3): 1027--1039
which is about Dmblm.
I would be grateful if you could confirm that Dmblm is the same gene as
the gene currently in FlyBase as 'gesta1'.
This gene was mentioned as a RecQ homologue in Kusano et al., 1996, A.
Conf. Dros. Res. 37: 152, and was called 'gesta1' in Kusano et al.,
1997, A. Conf. Dros. Res. 38: 106C.
If the 2 genes are the same, could you confirm that you wish the valid
symbol and name of the gene to be 'blm' (we will remove the 'Dm' from
the symbol as it stands for D. melanogaster) and 'bloom' respectively,
so that I can change the entry in FlyBase.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Gillian

Yes, Dmblm is the same gene as gesta1. We renamed it on the advice of the
reviewers.
