Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10422
Dear Kerstin,
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:
'out of step, a new mutation affecting R7 projection to the optic lobe in
Drosophila.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, oos. 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.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel
i am very sorry to reply so late \-
in case you still need this information
' out of step' is a mutation in the D.m. Liprin 1 alpha gene, encoded by
CG11199.
this gene has been described for the first and only time so far ( to my
knowledge) in the following publication
Neuron 2002 Mar 28;34(1):27-38
Drosophila liprin-alpha and the receptor phosphatase Dlar control synapse
morphogenesis.
Kaufmann N, DeProto J, Ranjan R, Wan H, Van Vactor D.
best regards
Kerstin
