Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50381
Dear Natascha,
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:
Identification and characterization of IPOD, a novel interaction
partner of the Dnmt2 DNA methyltransferase in Drosophila.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, Ipod. 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,
We identified a previously uncharacterized protein, encoded by CG2961
(AE003449; FBgn0030187), which we named 'IPOD' (Interaction Partner Of
Dnmt2). Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are any further
questions. Best regards,
Natascha Kunert
