Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10484
Dear Yi-Fan,
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:
'Analyzing the function of Nedd8 in Drosophila.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Nedd8. Do you know which of
the Genome Project CG annotations your gene corresponds to? Is it by
any chance CG10679? 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:
Indeed, the Nedd8 gene we invastigated is CG10679 in
annotated Genome Data Base. However, on going of the paper
writing, we would rather to name the gene 'dNedd8'.
Thanks for your correspondence and your work is
really helpful.
sincerely yours,
Lin Yi-Fan.
