Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-10443
Dear Ronald,
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 screen for genes involved in the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, PSR. 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.

Hello Rachel,
Sorry I did not respond sooner. The gene that I am referring to is CG5383.
This gene is similar to the human phosphatidylserine receptor and codes for
the following amino acid sequence:
