Subject: Helping FlyBase: P17en1 and P17en43
Dear Judith,
I have been curating this qvr paper for FlyBase
\*x FBrf0130151 == Wang et al., 2000, J. Neurosci. 20(16): 5958--5964
In it the authors mention (as coming from you) 'P17en1' and
'P17en43' which are evidently insertions into the genome, near qvr.
We have no record of these insertions in FlyBase. Could you tell me
whether they have been published anywhere? If not, perhaps you could
be specific about which P element construct is inserted in these two
lines and where they are inserted into the genome? Then I can make
proper insertion records for them in FlyBase.
Many thanks for your help,
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Rachel,
Both 17en1 and 17en43 were insertions of Pen1 into chromosomal
subdivision 48A. You can use Kassis et al., 1992, PNAS 89, 1919-1923 for a
reference.

17en1 and 17en43 do not apppear to be mentioned explicitly in Kassis et
al., 1992. We have record for P{en1}48A from that publication but
since we have a synonym of 1-en-14 for that it seems to be a different
insertion. We also have a record for something called P{en1}2-en-17
but the reference for that is
Perrimon et al., 1991
Generating lineage-specific markers to study Drosophila
development. Dev. Genet. 12: 238--252 <up>FBrf0053745</up> so it is
probably something COMPLETELY different.
I will curate this mail from you as a personal communication to
FlyBase, to serve as the reference for these insertions. How about
P{en1}17-1 and P{en1}17-43 as insertion identifiers?
Thanks again for your help.
best wishes,
Rachel.
