Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10326 Dear Richard, 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: Characterization of dmATP7, the Drosophila homologue of the mammalian Menkes and Wilsons Disease copper-transporting P-type ATPases, in Drosophila S2 cells You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, ATP7. 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. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10326 Dear Rachel, The CG number for the gene I mention, DmATP7, is CG1886, All the best, Richard Burke 'Rachel Drysdale (Genetics)' wrote:
