Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10572
Dear Rebecca,
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 mechanisms common to cytokinesis and polarized cell growth in the
Drosophila male germline.'
You mention two genes that are new to FlyBase, onr and bns, and also
fws. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations these
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 a CG then perhaps you could tell me their map locations,
as this is valuable information for the genome annotation project.
Also, if possible we would like to record the full name of onr and bns
(presumably abbreviations), so perhaps you could let me know the full
names too.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
.....
We
are currently writing up a paper on a cytokinesis screen, and we would
like to wait until it is published before providing information on most of
the genes to Flybase. However, I am happy to give you more information on
four way stop (fws). It maps to 36C and corresponds to CG6549. I have two
alleles, both are viable/male sterile. They were generated by EMS. I have
not yet checked for female sterility.
