Subject: Helping FlyBase: EDRC-I16 Dear Bhupendra, We are (belatedly) curating the abstracts for the 18th (Gottingen) European Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'The role of EGF and TGF-ss signaling in patterning of follicle cells during Drosophila oogenesis'. You mention a gene symbol that from its symbol looks new to FlyBase, snoN. 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. With best regards, Rachel. \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Drysdale, Ph.D. FlyBase (Cambridge), \---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: EDRC-I16 Dear Rachel, Thank you for the mail. The CG number for the gene which I spoke about in the fly meeting 2003 is 'CG7233' . (We called it 'snoN' because it shows a strong homology to human and chicken snoN). I hope this will suffice. best bhupendra bhupendra V. shravage Prof. Siegfried Roth AG Insitute for Entwicklungsbiologie University of Cologne D-50923, Cologne Germany
