Subject: Helping FlyBase: CSH-205
Dear Greg,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the 2001 CSH Neurobiology
of Drosophila Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'A novel Dbl family Rho-GEF promotes axon attraction
to the cns midline and overcomes robo repulsion.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, GEF64C. Do you know which
of the Genome Project CG annotations your gene corresponds to? Might
it be CG13709? 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. We would of course
rename CG13709 if it is your GEF64C.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
GEF64C cDNAs appear to be comprised of two different CG#s
I'm not sure what this means, but we had the same experience with the
highwire gene.
The business end (i.e. the part with the Dbl GEF domain) corresponds
to the CG13709 as you indicated in your e-mail.
The N- teminus corresponds to the neighbouring CG13710
Best
Greg
