Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10562
Dear Kavita,
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:
'ALP23B, a novel member of the TGF-beta superfamily.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Alp23B. 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.
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.

Hi Rachel,
You sent Kavita an email about my poster on ALP23B for the conference.
The gene corresponds to CG16987, however, ALP23B is only a temporary
name until I can come up with something better based on phenotype,
theres already a gene called Alp so I'd have to change it anyway . My
email is listed with Flybase although I updated recently and it may not
have been changed yet.
Yours sincerely,
Louise Parker
