Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10498
Dear Kazuko,
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:
'N14 is a novel maternal effect mutation affecting pole cell maintenance.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, N14. Do you know yet 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.
Also, if N14 has picked up a more descriptive name/symbol since you
submitted the abstract then this would be a good time to tell me so I
can get it into the database.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
We have mapped N14 to 45D.
We have not determined yet which of genes within this region is N14.
Best regards,
