Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-364C
Dear Celeste,
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:
'Genetic and molecular characterization of twin peaks, a novel
allele of tramtrack with an effect on dorsal follicle cell migration
in oogenesis.'
You mention a new allele of ttk, which you call twin peaks. This is
new to FlyBase and we need a symbol for it. Unless you have another
symbol in mind I will use ttktp as the allele symbol, keeping 'twin
peaks' as the allele name.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel:
After conferring with my student, Rachael French, we prefer the symbol
ttk-twp, if possible. This particular female sterile line came from the
Spradling collection, the big screen of 1989 in which I participated as
a postdoc. Thus, the insertion is a P<up>lacZ, ry+</up> element (P{PZ}), and the
Spradling lab number is fs(3)07223.
Thank you for all your efforts.
Celeste
