Subject: EDRC99 - abstract ID327 Dear Dr. Graba, 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: 'Chameau, a novel Drosophila putative acetyl transferase, functions in Pc-G gene silencing and bristle specification' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, chameau. Do you have a map location for chameau? It is nice if we can keep as many gene records as possible anchored to the map. Also, do you have a short symbol for chameau, such as 'cham' ? Thank you for your help, with best wishes, Chihiro \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chihiro Yamada.

The gene was mapped by in situ hybridisation to 28A. The short symmbol for chameau could be chm if not already used. If so please let us know. If there is anything alse please do not hesitate to be in touch Yacine Dr. Yacine GRABA, IBDM, LGPD, CNRS Case 907 Parc Scientifique de Luminy 13288 Marseille cedex 9 FRANCE
