Subject: Re: homer
Hi Leyla,
	sorry to be so slow in getting back to you on this. Our homer is
indeed a different entity from Xiao's homer. In order to eliminate the
redundancy, we'll rename our homer since the published homer has
precedence. We've decided to rename our gene 'kugi'
instead, a Japanese name for nail, the shape of the sperm head in this
paternal effect mutant. Can you record this change for us in FlyBase?
	Thanks,
	Barbara
