Category 4: genes that were in the penultimate XML but are now gone and for which I can't find a replacement in the final xml (but I did no seq alignment). Sima checked these by BLASTing protein sequence from aa_embl.dros at the BDGP against the latest version of aa_gadfly.dros. Those that did not match, I tried the nucleic acid sequence from na_embl.dros against na_gadfly.dros and then against genomic scaffolds at NCBI. >βggt-II(347aa) =CG18627|FBan0018627|CT41437|FBan0018627 last_updated:000321 (347aa) CT10156 == CG3023, gone >A(225)(711aa) =CG18255|FBan0018255|CT41348|FBan0018255 last_updated:000321 (1277nt) (only found as nucleic acid, not as protein) CG8307 no jam, gone >Act87E(376aa) =CG10067|FBan0010067|CT28343|FBan0010067 last_updated:000321 (376aa) CT34012 no CG and CT26437 CG9278 gone >Aprt(182aa) =CG18315|FBan0018315|CT41563|FBan0018315 last_updated:000321 (182aa) CG1833 CT5556, gone >axo(1685aa) =CG18296|FBan0018296|CT41507|FBan0018296 last_updated:000321 (482aa) CG7517 CT1277, gone >Bbbf1(638aa) =no gene in GadFly but matches Celera AE003608 (repeated many times in this scaffold sequence) CT39704 == CG15836, gone > BG:DS01368.1 (514aa) =CG18507|FBan0018507|CT42208|FBan0018507 last_updated:000321 (463aa) CG7153 CT22111 gone >Eip93F(1221aa) =CG18389|FBan0018389|CT41792|FBan0018389 last_updated:000321 (1075aa) CG6505 CT20215, gone >Gprk1(700aa) =no gene in GadFly but matches Celera AE002943, AE002613, AE002814, AE003008, AE003017 (split among many scaffolds) CT39791 == CG17882 gone >Optix(60aa) =CG18455|FBan0018455|CT42028|FBan0018455 last_updated:000321 (218aa) CG8718 CT9483, gone >Os9(159aa) =CG10658|FBan0010658|CT29854|FBan0010658 last_updated:000321 (only found as nucleic acid, not as protein) CG10656 CT29836, gone >Shark(950aa) =CG18247|FBan0018247|CT41326|FBan0018247 last_updated:000321 (939aa) CG5801 and CG11991 both gone
