Subject: FlyBase query: abstract 1038C
Dear Dr. Leopold,
I am curating your abstract from the addendum of the 44th
(Chicago) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
1038C: A nutrient sensor mechanism controls Drosophila growth.
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, 'slimfast'. 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, do you have a short symbol that you use for the gene, so that I
can enter it into the database ? There is already a gene with the
symbol 'slim' in the database, so you would not be able to use that
symbol.

Dear Gillian,
slimfast (short symbol : slif) corresponds to CG11128
Thank you for taking care of this matter,
Best
