Subject: Re: FlyBase query
Dear Gillian,
Sorry for the confusion. When we wrote the paper, we claimed sip2 (66B) as
the DmUba2, so renamed .. CG9188/27C .. into sip2 (in JCS). The reason is
that the 'old' sip2 (66B) now has a real name as DmUba2 (66B), so we
renamed .. CG9188/27C .. to 'new' sip2 (CG9188/27C).
Therefore, the right info should be following as
DmUba2 (66B; old sip2 data should be corrected into DmUba2)
sip2 (CG9188/27C) should be stated as in JCS paper
I hope it will help you to clarify this confusion
Thank you very much!
