Subject: abnormal oocyte gene
Dear Dr. Pimpinelli,
I am a molecular curator at FlyBase. We are trying to match known 
genes to genes predicted from genome project/Celera sequence. I am 
writing to find out if you can provide us with any sequence 
information on the abnormal oocyte (abo) gene. 
The only abo sequence information we now have in FlyBase
comes from the Lavorgna et al. Genetics 123 (3), 485-494 (1989) 
paper (accessions X17392, X17393). 
I wrote to Dr. Tomkiel, and he referred me to you. 
Any information you send will be curated as a personal communication 
from you to FlyBase. 
Thank you very much for your time,
Leyla Bayraktaroglu
Curator, FlyBase

Dear Leyla
Here attached is the abo DNA and protein sequences. We send a manuscript on
abo molecular analysis were we describe these sequences.
Best Regards
Sergio Pimpinelli
