Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10613 Dear Xin, 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: Tissue specific transcription machinery regulates gene expression program for spermatid differentiation. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, rye. 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-10613 Hello, Sorry I've been slow to reply. The CG number for ryan express (rye) is CG15632. Mark Mark Hiller Department of Biological Sciences Goucher College Baltimore, MD 21204-2794
