Subject: Helping FlyBase: CSH-45
Dear Xiaoyun,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the 2001 CSH Neurobiology
of Drosophila Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'The jitterbug gene: a mutation in a Drosophila filamin causes seizures,
synaptic failure and paralysis'.
You mention a gene that is relatively new to FlyBase, jbug. 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.
You mention a P-element insertion allele of jbug. Is this one of the
BDGP P insertions? Is it the same allele that is currently represented
in FlyBase as jbug1 (FBal0100359)? We have insertion records for all
of the major collections and we like to keep these tied to alleles as
those alleles are identified.
Finally \- we do have a gene record for a Filamin at 59A (FBgn0041831).
Do you know whether this is the same gene as jbug?
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi,
I included answers to some of your questions below. I am no longer on this
project. If you need more info, please ask Mark Tanouye who is the head of
the lab.

CG3550, CG11605 and CG13525.

This P-element was generated in our lab.
>Finally \- we do have a gene record for a Filamin at 59A (FBgn0041831).
>Do you know whether this is the same gene as jbug?
yes.
hope this helps.
