Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10676
Dear Allen,
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:
'Missing Imaginal Precursors: A trithorax Group Gene with Possible Roles in
Imaginal Cell Proliferation.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, mip. 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 for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
Allen forwarded me an email regarding my poster and information for
the upcoming Drosophila conference. The gene I am working on, mip,
corresponds to CG4539, which is located at 30E.
My address and information are as follows:
Kristin K. Nastase
Johns Hopkins Univeristy
Mudd Hall
3400 N. Charles St.
Baltimore, MD 21218
Flybase and the conference seem to be very organized!! In a world
that often seems chaotic, it is pleasant to experience some sort of
organization.
Thanks,
Kristin
