Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10814
Dear Takako,
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:
'missing oocyte (mio), a gene required to maintain the meiotic cycle in the
oocyte.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, mio. 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,
Thank you to remind me to reply to your letter. The results from 5' and 3'
RACE of mio mRNA show that mio gene corresponds to two CGs, CG7074 and
CG15384. On the Flybase, the predicted 3'end of CG7074 mRNA cut actual mio
mDNA at the 6th exon. CG15384 is 7th exon of mio gene. If you need more
information, please feel free to ask me. Thank you.
Takako
