Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10741
Dear Herve,
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:
'Oxydative stress resistance, ageing and retinal neurodegeneration in
D. melanogaster.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, UY530. 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.

Dear Rachel,
Indeed UY530 is a PUAS insertion close to the gene referred as CG4026 and
CG13122 which encode an inositol triphosphate kinase and should be on the same
strand.
Best wishes
