Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10156 Dear Hong, 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: You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, sunglass. 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. Also, if you have settled on a short symbol for your gene now would be a good time to let me know what it is, as then I can enter it in the database from the outset. Thank you very much for your help, with best wishes, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10156 Hi, Rachel: The flybase annotation for sunglass:CG12143 , which map to the 2-42E, encodes a ttraspanin protein. . thanks Hong Xu
