Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50357
Dear Florence,
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:
Miro, Twinstar and Capulet all restrict actin filament polymerization
but have distinct developmental functions.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, miro. 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.

Dear Rachel,
Sorry for the confusing name I gave to this gene. I just saw the
abstract for the upcoming 46th Annual Drosophila Research Conference
about dMiro which is not the same gene.
The miro gene, I characterized , encodes for the capping protein of
alpha type (CG10540).
I'll change this name very soon.
Best wishes.
Florence
