Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10510
Dear Rebecca,
We are still curating the ADRC abstracts and now I am writing in
connection with your abstract:
'Characterization of HOAP (HP1/ORC Associated Protein) in Drosophila
heterochromatin formation.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Hoap. 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.
I am writing to you because the first author does not have an address
in FlyBase \- please feel free to pass my query on if there is someone
better placed to answer it.
Thank you, again, for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

The HOAP protein is encoded by the anon fe 1G5 gene.
Reference: Schmid, K.J. and Tautz, D. (1997). A screen for fast evolving genes
from Drosophila. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 94, 9746-9750.
The GadFly GC desigantion for the gene is CG6219. We have not published the
work on the HOAP protein yet.
