Gene or accession: CG4551
Release: 3
cDNA or EST error
Comments: There is an annotation note that 'EST data suggest additional 5'
exon(s) (that may lie as far as 24kb upstream). ' I assume that the curator
was referring to LD02884-5prime. The BDGP report on DGC LD02884 indicates
that LD02884-3prime gives a BLAST hit to CG4551. It seems likely to me that
LD02884-5prime is an EST for a 5' exon for CG4551. There are two P-element
insertions near the 5' end of LD02884, which is further evidence that this is
the 5' end of a gene. I haven't checked Apollo to look at all of the EST
data. I'm writing to bring your attention to this with the hope that one of
the curators will reexamine the evidence.
