Subject: Re: FlyBase query: kinesins
The genes can be identified by finding the sequence in the alignment and
correlating with the database entry:
DmKlp53D DmCG8566
DmKlp31D DmCG5300 (same as DmKlp31E) \- this was thought to be a
separate gene at the time the tree was built
DmKlp10A DmCG1453
DmKlp59C DmCG3219
