Gene or accession: CG1865
cDNA or EST error
Comments: The published sequence for full-length DGC cDNA RE38703 representing
the gene CG1865 is missing 1 nucleotide, which leads to disruption of the open
reading frame (e.g., see the NCBI entry for the translated sequence of
RE38703--it does not begin with a Met and does not match the predicted CG1865
protein sequence). RE38703's sequence shows only 1 C rather than 2 C's
between positions 436 and 439 in the predicted CG1865 mRNA sequence; 2 C's are
also seen in the partial sequence for the cDNA GH09090 that overlaps with
RE38703. The sequence with 2 C's is correct as it translates to give the
complete ORF that matches the predicted CG1865 protein sequence. The question
is whether the cDNA RE38703 is actually missing the C or its sequence was
mis-read.
