Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10076 Dear Dr. Krishnan, 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: 'Genetic Analysis Of Synaptic Vesicle Recycling.' You mention genes that are new to FlyBase, eshiA, orangi and vizhichai. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your genes correspond 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 genes do not correspond to CGs then perhaps you could tell me their 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-10076 (fwd) Dear Rachel, I am replying to your mail in regard to identity of the genes mentioned in my abstract. 1. eshiA CG2210 This gene is allelic to awd. 2. orangi CG16944 This gene is allelic to sesB. 3. vizhichai 5A-6D The identity of this gene is unknown and the map position is as indicated. I hope this suffices.If there is anything else that is needed in terms of information then you could ask me. Regards, Richa Rikhy
