Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10630
Dear Sharron,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 43rd
(San Diego) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'Depletion of the cohesin subunit Drad21/Scc1 in Drosophila cultured cells
results in premature sister chromatid separation and a prometaphase delay.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, SMC3. 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.

Dear Rachel,
thank you for the inquiry regarding the Drosophila SMC3 gene.
The cg number for this gene is 9802, and here it is called 'cap' or
chromosome associated protein, but it is also the fly homologue of
the SMC3 gene. I hope this information is helpful to you.
kind regards,
Sharron Vass.
