Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10282
Dear Matthias,
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:
'Branch morphogenesis of the tracheal system.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, wus. 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.
Also, you say the defining lethal mutation, which affects tracheal
development in the embryo, came from the Gottingen collection. We have
records for the Gottingen insertions already in FlyBase. If you let me
know which particular insertion it is that defines wus then I can
relate wus to that insertion and keep the various bits of data
correctly inter-related in FlyBase.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Subject: wurst identification
Dear Rachel,
the P-Insertion, which affects the wurst (wus) gene is, named l(1)G0162
(PlacW) generated by the Göttingen X-project (U.Schaefer). The wurst
gene correspond to CG9089.
If you have additional questions or something is unclear, please ask again,
best wishes,
Matthias Behr
