Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-24 Hi Maria, 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: 'The trouble without tribbles : Mitosis interfering with mesodermal morphogenesis.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, tribbles. Is there an abbreviation that you are using for this gene? Do you have a map location for your tribbles? This is a data class we like to track, if possible. Thank you for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Fwd: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-24 Dear Rachel Drysdale, the abbreviation for tribbles is trbl . It maps to 77C according to the phenotype (we look at) found in the two deficiencies rdgCco2 and ri79c. There are also two P-elements showing the phenotype which have been mapped to this region by in situ hybridization. I hope this helps, best regards, Thomas Seher.
