Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-676C
Dear Dr. Schupbach,
(Pittsburgh) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'Identification and characterization of gritz, a
novel putative ligand for the Drosophila Egf receptor.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, gritz. Do you have a map
location for gritz? This is a data class we like to track, if
possible.
I am writing to you because the first author does not have an address
in FlyBase - please feel free to pass my query on if there is someone better
placed to answer it.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
We localized gritz by polytene in situ hybridization to 74EF, it is deleted
by the Deficiency Df(3L)81k19.
We don't have a mutant phenotype yet, so have not localized it by
traditional genetic mapping.
I hope this helps.
Yours,
Trudi Schupbach
