Subject: ADRC-702B Dear Stephane, 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: 'Identification and characterization of barbu, a novel E(spl)m4 related gene encoding a protein partner of the NK homeodomain protein Tinman.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, barbu. Do you have a map location for barbu? 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. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: ADRC-702B Dear Rachel, Like I'll write in my poster about the 'Identification and characterization of barbu, a novel E(spl)m4 related gene encoding a protein partner of the NK homeodomain protein Tinman.' this new gene barbu is located on the third chromosome at 2Kb of Bearded gene, so at 71A band. I hope that will be enough for you but let me know if you need more information. Best wishes, Stephane
