Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10004 Dear Anna, 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: Variable effects of the glass-like mutation on the mini-white expression depend on the site of transgene insertion. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, gl-l. Do you know yet 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. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: gl-l Dear Rachel, I don`t know which of Genome Project CG annotations glass-like (gl-l) locus corresponds to. gl-l is new mutation obtained by X-irradiation. At the present time I succeed only in recombination deletion mapping. Recombination mapping localized the gl-l gene in position 1-28,4. Using deficiencies Df(1)KA14, Df(1)C52, Df(1)M38-C5, Df(1)18.1.15 from Bloomington collection and Df(1)ED6957 obtained from Dr. H. Stocker gl-l was mapped to region 8C13-8E. I fail to map gl-l gene more exactly. With best wishes, Anna Subject: Re: gl-l Dear Anna, Many thanks for your helpful reply, which I will curate as a personal communication from you to FlyBase. Please could you confirm my interpretation of your deletion mapping results .... from what you say I understand that Df(1)KA14 does not delete gl-l Df(1)C52 does not delete gl-l Df(1)ED6957 does not delete gl-l Df(1)M38-C5 does delete gl-l Df(1)18.1.15 does delete gl-l do I have that correct? With best wishes, Rachel. Subject: Re2: gl-l Dear Rachel, Thanks for your attention to my work You interpretation of gl-l deletion mapping results is correct With best wishes, Anna
