Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10865
Dear Bill,
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:
'Analysis of three doublesex related genes suggests that they play roles in
sexual differentiation.'
You mention three genes that are new to FlyBase, dmrt99B, dmrt93B and
dmrt11E. 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.
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.

Rachel,
Here is the info you asked for on the dmrt genes.
dmrt11E = CG15749
dmrt93B = CG5737
dmrt99B =CG15504
