Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10237
Dear Kimberley,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 42nd
(Washington, D.C.) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'Identification of mutations that affect the metaphase/anaphase transition:
the chromosome condensation factor DCAP-G is required for chromosome
separation at anaphase.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Cap-G. Do you know which of the
Genome Project CG annotations your gene corresponds to? All the CGs
have corresponding gene records in FlyBase already and we don't like to
make duplicate records for what is actually the same gene unless we
can't avoid it. If your gene does not correspond to a CG then perhaps
you could tell me its map location, as this is valuable information for
the genome annotation project.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
>You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Cap-G. Do you know which of the

So DCap-G is the gene coding for the Drosophila homologue of the condensation
factor XCAP-G and it corresponds to annotation CG17054. We have several
mutations in this gene that will be presented at the Fly meeting.
Thank you for noting this!
Best,
Kim
