Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-432B
Dear Helmut,
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:
'Classic Drosophila eye color mutations as new tools to study
membrane trafficking.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Vps16. 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.

Dear Rachel,
The gene encoding the Drosophila homolog of he yeast protein Vps16p is
located at 85D8 based on its inclusion in the the BAC clone  CSC:AC014256 
next to the Drosophila Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase, abbreviated
'Aats-trp'.
We have not yet identified a mutation in this gene.
sincerely
Helmut
