Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10441 Dear Ananya, 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: A phosphatase inhibitor-3 functions in the NF-kB/Rel pathway in embryonic polarity and immunity. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, R9-28. We already have an allele in FlyBase with as similar name \- l(1)19Ec8 \- is this the same allele as yours? Also, 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. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: RE: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10441 Dear Rachel, By R-9-28 we mean that gene mutant of which was referred to as l(1)19Ec8. We are currently working on the publication where we have have changed the name R-9-28. The CG number for this is CG11233. Hope this clears the confusion. Ananya
