Personal communication to FlyBase from M. Gatt & M. Ashburner. anon-3Ba is EG:100G10.7 on basis of size & restriction map. anon-3Bb is EG:100G10.5 on basis of size, restriction map & direction. Note that the direction of transcription of anon-3Ba is opposite to that of EG:100G10.7 . However, everything else fits (indeed the match between the restriction maps is excellent, and, the direction of transcription of anon-3B1.2 (as 0.9kb transcript) shown in the relevant figure, figure 2 of Reddy et al. (1984) Cell 38:701-710 , is wrong, since even the database accession says that it is off the opposite strand to per and not the same (as in fig 2 here). So we have little concern that the authors got the direction of transcription of the 2.7-kb RNA (aka anon-3Ba) wrong. In conclusion the revised gene order statement should be: per+ anon-3B1.2- EG:100G10.7- EG:100G10.5-
