Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10597 Dear Sarah, We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 45th (Washington DC) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: Regulation of axon outgrowth and fasciculation by the matricellular protein, dCCN. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, Ccn. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your gene 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. The CG symbol becomes a synonym when an annotation is named with a more descriptive or functional name. With best wishes, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: RE: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10597 Hi Rachel, What I've temporarily termed dCCN corresponds to CG32183 according to the Genome Project. Thanks, Sarah
