Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50417
Dear Eric,
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:
A meiotic mutant with a delay in the recombination pathway has reduced crossing
over.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, g7. Do you know
yet 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.
Also, if g7 has picked up a more descriptive name/symbol since you
submitted the abstract then this would be a good time to tell me so I
can get it into the database.
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
g7 is an allele of the gene CG15329. We are currently
undecided for a better name that corresponds to it's
phenotype. If we come up with a name soon I will be
sure to let you know as soon as possible. Please let
me know if you need anything else. Thank you.
Eric
