Subject: FB-NG Help Mail: annotation update
comments: brec corresponds to CG18039, a new NMJ glutamate receptor
subunit which we are calling 'GluRIID'. So you can stick 'brec' under the
synonyms for that gene and get rid of the seperate entry for 'brec'. The
manuscript has been submitted; I just wanted to update this entry, since it
has lingered so long...

Subject: Helping FlyBase: CSH-26
Dear David,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the 2001 CSH Neurobiology of
Drosophila Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'bad reception (brec) is essential for glutamate receptor field
formation.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, brec. Now that some time
has passed I wonder 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.
Even if you don't know which CG brec is then perhaps you could tell me
its map location, as this is valuable information in its own right.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
I do not yet know what CG gene 'bad reception' corresponds to,
although hopefully this will be changing within the next few weeks,
since we now appear to have some P-inserts. I'll certainly let you
know the CG gene ASAP once we know. As for map position, the best I
can tell you is 92E, which as close as we've been able to map it.
Thanks for the continuing great work on Flybase.
