Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10154
Dear Yoko,
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:
Roles for SUMO in Drosophila development.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, sumo. 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.
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
SUMO is also called as 'smt3'.
Recently, SUMO is more popular than smt3.
This is the flybase site of the smt3 gene.
