Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10994 Dear Elisabetta, 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: 'Spindle assembly and cytokinesis in the absence of chromosomes during Drosophila male meiosis.' You mention genes that are new to FlyBase, fsl and suo. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your genes correspond 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 genes do not correspond to CGs then perhaps you could tell me their map location, as this is valuable information for the genome annotation project. Thank you very much for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10994 Dear Rachel, here are the informations about fsl and suo that you requested. Unfortunately, we do not know yet which of the Genome Project CG annotations these genes correspond to. We can just provide you with their map positions, that are 71C-D for fsl and 37D-E for suo. Best regards Silvia Bonaccorsi
