Dear Helen,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 44th
(Chicago) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
The aly \-class meiotic arrest genes of Drosophila: transcriptional regulators
in primary spermatocytes.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, comr. 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.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10302
comr is an abbreviation for cookie monster. It is the final name for
the gene we had been calling zab. it is CG13493. The paper
describing the cloning etc is coming out in development this month.
