Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-756B
Dear Leo,
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:
'Analysis of a putative Drosophilahomolog of the gene responsible
for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Sca2. Do you have a map location for your gene? This is a data class we like to track, if possible.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
The Drosophila SCA2 gene maps by in situ hybridization to 88F-89A1.
This localization is confirmed by in situ hybridization carried out by the
BDGP using BAC probes that contain the SCA2 gene. We also have an abstract
describing the Drosophila parkin gene. We haven't mapped the Parkin
gene, but it is represented by bac clones that hybridize to 78B2-78D2.
Best regards,
