Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10159 and 10440
Dear Kim,
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 abstracts:
'The role of dcp-1 in nurse cell apoptosis.'
and
'Genes involved in ovarian nurse cell apoptosis.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, nad1. 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,
We have just begun to characterize this gene and do not yet know what it is
or where it maps, so we are calling it nad1 (nurse cell apoptosis
defective-1) temporarily.
Hope this helps,
Kim
