Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10030 Dear Angelike, 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: FGF genes that pattern the mesoderm of Drosophila embryos. You mention two gene symbols that are new to FlyBase, pyr and ths (great names!). Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your genes correspond 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-10030 Dear Rachel, pyr is CG13194 and ths is CG12443. If you need any more info, please let me know. When will this information become publically available? thanks, Angelike
