Subject: Helping FlyBase: EDRC-J13 Dear Dr. Hirota, We are (belatedly) curating the abstracts for the upcoming 18th (Gottingen) European Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'Identification of the gene involved in the differentiation of the postembryonic neuroblast'. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, TN166. 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-J13 Dear Dr. Rachel Drysdale, Thank you for your e-mail. The gene we called TN166 is corresponds to CG10203 (xl6).
