Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10133
Dear Ananya,
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 Drosophila homolog of Nuclear Transport Factor-2 is essential for the
anti-microbial immune response.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Ntf-2. 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 Rachael,
This gene NTF2 does have a corresponding CG annotation.
IT corresponds to CG1740.
Hope this information is helpful.
