Subject: Helping FlyBase: CSH-165 Dear Jose, We are currently curating the abstracts for the 2001 CSH Neurobiology of Drosophila Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'Identification of novel genes and mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Drosophila.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, sniffer. 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. Thank you very much for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: CSH-165 Dear Rachel, Sniffer corresponds to CG10964, the abbreviated name we use for sniffer is 'sni'.
