Subject: Merge Tapdelta and  BcDNA:GM12291 ?
It appears to me that the FlyBase genes Tap-delta
(Translocon-associated protein-delta) and  BcDNA:GM12291  are probably
synonyms. FlyBase lists one allele of the Tap-delta gene, which is
Tap-deltak17005. The P-element insertion in this allele is
inserted at the 5' end of the gene named  BcDNA:GM12291 . The gene
report for  BcDNA:GM12291  states: 'It encodes a product which is a
component of the translocon.' There are no mutant alleles listed for
 BcDNA:GM12291 . Neither of the gene reports for the two genes lists
the other as a synonym.
