Subject: FlyBase query
Dear Dr. Wang,
I am curating your paper for FlyBase:
Liu et al., 2003, Science 301(5641): 1921--1925
and I have a couple of questions about the r2d2 mutant shown in Figure
2D and E.
1. You call the starting P-element strain 'P-2450' \- is this a stock
number ? does the strain have any other form of identifier \- I am
trying to work out which P-element strain in FlyBase it corresponds
to.
2. do you have a symbol you are using for the r2d2 mutant e.g. r2d21
(<up></up> = superscript) \- I need to give it a symbol that includes something
in superscript so that it can be distinguished from other r2d2 mutants
when they are made,
thanks,
Gillian

The starting R2D2 mutant P element was EP2450, located upstream of r2d2
(CG7138).
The mutant is by convention, r2d21 with r2d2 in italics and 1
denoting superscript.
Thanks,
Dean Smith
