Gene or accession: CG16796 Gene annotation error Genes CG4311 and CG167796 should be merged. Comments: I've been looking at HMG-CoA synthase sequences. According to GeneScene, CG4311 and CG16796 represent alternatively spliced forms of the same locus. Not sure if they have a common start transcription site, but they splice to a common exon which encodes the HMG-S ORF.
