Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10766
Dear Kirst,
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:
'Regulation and function of DHR4 and DHR96, two members of the nuclear
receptor superfamily, during metamorphosis.'
You mention the DHR4 and DHR96 genes. We have a record for Hr96
(FBgn0015240) but not for DHR4, though it is not entirely clear to me
that DHR4 is newly discovered. Do you know which of the Genome Project
CG annotations DHR4 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. If DHR4 is a new gene I will make a record for it
though will have to drop the D for Drosophila in the valid symbol and
would follow the lead of Hr96 and call it Hr4.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
DHR4 corresponds to CG16902 ( EG:133E12.2 ).
see you,
Kirst
