Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50201 Dear Nathaniel, We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 46th (San Diego) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: Analysis of an orb related gene, orb2, in the Drosophila central nervous system. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, orb2. 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. The CG symbols become synonyms when an annotation is named with a more descriptive or functional name. With best wishes, Rachel. Subject: RE: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50201 Hi Rachel, The CG annotation for orb2 is CG5735. Please let me know if you have any other questions about this gene! Nate
