Gene or accession: CG6419 Gene annotation error Gene CG6419 corresponds to sox-like Comments: Hi, I believe that CG6419 (FBgn0036413) corresponds to the gene 'sox-like' (from FBrf0127030 == Burmester et al., 2000, Gene 246(1-2): 157--167) for the following reasons: 1. In Figure 2 of FBrf0127030, 'sox-like' is shown as being 25-30kb upstream of Fbp-1 and distal to it: \+5 0 \-5 \-10 \-15 \-20 \-25 (kb) | | | | | | | \------------------------------------- <-------- <--- Fbp-1 sox-like N.B. 'sox-like' has homology to the 'SOX subgroup of the HMG proteins' (pg.166 of FBrf0127030). Fbp-1 corresponds to CG17285. Inspection of GeneSeen of the region surrounding CG17285 shows that there is a CG approximately 25kb upstream of Fbp-1, transcribed in the correct direction which has homology to SOX proteins \- this CG is CG6419. 2. In addition, the STS sequence 'Dm1776' is shown within 'sox-like' in Figure 2. of FBrf0127030. BLAST against the Drosophila genome using the Dm1776 sequence produces one hit in the genome that includes all the sequence of Dm1776. This hit is within the sequence of the CG6419 gene. ..
