Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10332
Dear Adrian,
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:
white rabbit affects behavioral responses to nicotine and alcohol
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, white-rabbit. 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 symbols become synonyms when an
annotation is named with a more descriptive or functional name.
Also, if white-rabbit has picked up a short symbol since you submitted
the abstract then this would be a good time to tell me so I can get it
into the database.
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Rachel
the mutant white rabbit (whir) has previously been annotated as 5-131
(from the CSHL neurofly meeting).
i am currently closing in on a paper, and will gladly let you know as
soon as it's accepted about the CGs involved.
..
let me know if that sound fine with you
thanks for your understanding
regard, adrian
