Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10204
Dear Carrie,
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:
'Analysis of Drosophila MES-4.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Mes-4. 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,
dMes-4 corresponds to CG4976. We have called it dMes-4 because of homology
to the C. elegans Mes-4 (in Wormbase) described by Susan Strome's lab at
Indiana.
Thanks,
Carrie
