Subject: FlyBase query: EDRC2001: N19
Dear Dr. Thor,
I am curating your abstract for the upcoming European Drosophila
conference in Edinburgh, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
N19 'Regulation of FMRFa neuropeptide expression by Apterous and
Squeeze, a novel Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, 'squeeze'.
Do you have a short symbol for this gene. e.g. 'sqz'
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.
Any information you give me will be curated as a personal communication
from you to FlyBase,
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Gillian
