Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10095 Dear Albert, 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: 'The Smt3-conjugation pathway and its role in regulating Dorsal function.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Ulp1. 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. Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10095 Dr. Drysdale, The Ulp1 gene corresponds to CG12359. Matthew Smith
