Dear Flybase:
I have a revised annotation of the homothorax locus (CG17117), based on
comparison of the Celera/BDGP genomic seq and the following cDNA
sequences:
AF032865 (Kurant et al.; Salzberg in the attached figure)
AF026788 (Rieckhof et al.; Mann in the figure)
AF036584 (Pai et al.; \#5 in the figure)
AF035825 (Pai et al., \#7 in the figure)
\#4 cDNA (Sun, unpublished)
The transcript should be 117,801 bp, encoding two protein isoform of 487
or 472 aa. The genes has 14 exons. One alternatively spliced exon is
exon 8 and exon 8'. Exon 8' is only 3 bp. Both protein isoforms are
represented by multiple cDNA clones. Several relevant files are
attached. The two figures are in Canvas 6 and the two text files are in
Word98.
