Subject: update on nuclear hormone receptor nomenclature
Dear curators of The FlyBase,
My lab maintains the official nomenclature of nuclear hormone receptors
(Cell 97: 1-20). We have recently done an important effort to re
evaluate the nuclear receptor content of published animal genomes (to
appear in Mol Biol Evol). In this process, we have noticed some small
discrepancies between the nomenclature we use and that used in FlyBase.
We would like to suggest that you add the following names as synonyms.
Thank you for the wonderful job you do in maintaining FlyBase.
