Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10321 Dear Hsiao-Pei, 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: hydra, a recently evolved gene in Drosophila You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, hydra. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your gene corresponds to? I realise that given the struture of the genome where it is located there may not be a CG, but I have to ask. 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-10321 >You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, hydra.
