Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10112
Dear Thomas,
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:
A Drosophila orthologue of PICK1 interacts with Germcell-less during pole cell
development
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, PICK1. 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,
The Drosophila PICK1 orthologue corresponds to CG6167. It has about
60% amino acid identity with the mouse PICK1 gene, hence referring to
the fly gene as PICK1.
Sincerely,
Tom Dockendorff
