Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10673
Dear Sangil,
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:
Oocyte integrity during rapid cytoplasm transport requires jagunal.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, jagn. 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 symbol becomes a synonym when an annotation is
named with a more descriptive or functional name.
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
The gene jagunal (jagn) corresponds to CG10978. Germ line clone
phenotype of the jagn mutation is small egg. So we named the gene
jagunal. jagunal means small egg in Korean. It will be great that
CG10978 is named jagunal (jagn).
Best wishes,
Sangil
