Subject: RE: FlyBase query: abstract 1041C
Dear Mr. Gillburn,
Thank you very much for your mail. The 'formin3' gene that we described
in our poster at the fly meeting corresponds to CG14824, CG8633 and
CG18138. These three tandem CG genes were mistakenly annotated as
different genes. Based on the cDNA analysis, we found that these three
CG genes actually encode a single gene which we named formin 3. ..
Best regards,
Akinao Nose
