Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10180 Dear Jiangtao, 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: 'Greatwall, a putative protein kinase required for chromosome condensation and mitotic progression in Drosophila.' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, gwl. 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. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10180 Rachel, The greatwall gene is actually corresponding to CG7719 in flybase, which has been allocated a name of pk91c. But it means nothing except saying it is a putative kinase. I thought I put it in my abstract, but I might forget. Thank you for your message. Jiangtao \----- Original Message \-----
