Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10261
Dear Joseph,
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:
'Drosophila tetracycline transporter acts in the secretory pathway.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, rtet. Do you know which of
the Genome Project CG annotations your gene corresponds to? Possible
one of CG5760, CG5078 and CG17637... 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.

Dear Rachel Drysdale,
Drtet gene coresponds to CG5760. Please note that the gene is named Drtet, not
rtet.
