Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10379
Dear Rebecca,
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:
'The E2 ubiquitin conjugase Morgue mediates apoptosis in the developing
retina by promoting degradation of Diap-1.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, morgue. 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.

Hi, Rachel. The morgue transcript is CT35501, and the cDNA is
 BcDNA:GH02435 . The accession number is AF145603. I've never seen a CG
number for it.
