Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-318B Dear Martine, We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 41st (Pittsburgh) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'Functional analysis of the Drosophila Poly(A) polymerase gene required for mRNA 3'-end processing.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Pap. Do you have a map location for Pap? This is a data class we like to track. Is the P element insertion you mention a BDGP one? If so, please could you tell us the insertion identifier as this, too is a data class we like to keep track of. Thank you for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-318B Dear Rachel, The gene I am describing in the abstract, that we called Pap, encodes Drosophila poly(A) polymerase. It is located in the P1 phage DS 06300. The P element inserted in the gene is l(2)k07618. I submitted the sequence of a Pap cDNA to Genbank recently. Accession number is: AF231704. . I hope this is of any help. Best regards.
