Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10863
Dear Matthew,
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 a potential negative regulator of EGFR/Ras/MAPK signalling.'
You mention a gene that may be new to FlyBase ('a novel gene that may
function as a negative regulator of the EGFR/Ras/MAPK signalling
pathway'), but do not name it. Do you have a name/symbol by which you
refer to this mutant. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG
annotations your gene corresponds to? Your abstract suggests you know
enough about the molecular biology of the gene that this link can be
made. 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.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
Sorry for my late response. My gene corresponds to CG7036. I have not yet
named it though.
Hope this info does not reach you too late.
Best regards,
Matt Voas
