Dear Chihiro
The gene I work on is a homologue of cap, I named it capulet.
Since arriving back I find a P-element adjacent to Dcap was published in
the Rubin paper (showing P element locations).
It its at 21F, 2 allelic Ps are P367 and P2330 (stock numbers)
Hope this is useful.

Dear Dr. Baum,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming European
Drosophila Research Conference in Zurich, for FlyBase. I am writing in
connection with your abstract:
'Cap controls the global cellular organisation of actin filaments and
is required for the correct polarity of the Drosophila oocyte'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, capulet.
Do you have a map location for capulet? It is nice if we can keep as
many gene records as possible anchored to the map.
Also, the symbol you use for capulet is already in use for another
gene:
'Cap' = Chromosome-associated protein and 'cap' = capon
do you have another symbol for this gene - 'capl' is not in use for
example,
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Chihiro
