Subject: EDRC99 - abstract ID98
Dear Dr. Riesgo-Escovar,
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:
'piragua, a new gene involved in dorsal closure in Drosophila.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, piragua.
Do you have a map location for piragua? 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,
Chihiro
Dear Dr. Yamada:
Indeed, I think we are characterizing a new gene, but unfortunately at
the present time we have not yet confirmed rigorously its precise
location. As a consequence, we would not like to venture that
information now, because we could still be wrong. The gene is on the
second chromosome, on 2L, according to our data, but we are still not
sure as to its precise location. Hope you understand. As soon as we
get definitive proof we will contact you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Juan R. Riesgo-Escovar
