Subject: Helping FlyBase: CSH-37 Dear Enrico, We are currently curating the abstracts for the 2001 CSH Neurobiology of Drosophila Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'Genetic and molecular identification of novel syntaxin interacting proteins'. You mention several genes that are new to FlyBase; SIP1, SIP2 and SIP3, a (un-named) novel decarboxylase and an (un-named) homolog of SNAP-29. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations any of these genes 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: CSH-37 I looked up the sequences in Flybase, and these are the corresponding gene records. I'm sorry this took a while, but I had not worked on these proteins for some time and had to find all the records. SIP1 = CG30173 SIP2 = CG13164 SIP3 = CG15468 The decarboxylase is CG1486 SNAP-29 homolog = CG11173 (ubisnap) I hope this helps. Please feel free to email me with further questions. Thank you for all the effort and time that goes into Flybase and the invaluable resources it provides. Rico
