Dear Gillian
.
There is a gene which appears as JNKK2 (FBgn0040310), which BLAST shows to
be the same as MKK4 (CG9738; FBan0009738). It seems to me that MKK4 is a
better name and, whenever possible, it should be corrected (I guess).

With best wishes

thanks for this info. I will record it as a personal
communication from you to FlyBase. When deciding which gene symbol
'wins' (and becomes the valid FlyBase symbol) when merging 2 genes, we
go for the symbol that was published first (including in GenBank
records). I checked and Mkk4 will be the valid symbol as it was used
first in a GenBank record in 1997.
