Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50066
Dear Christina,
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:
In Drosophila, both don juan and don juan like encode proteins of the
sperm nucleus and the flagellum and both are regulated at the
transcriptional level by the TAFII80 Cannonball while translational
repression is achieved by distinct elements.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, dj-like. 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. We
would prefer to use a shorter symbol, djl, for this gene record. Is
that a symbol you could use?
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
the CG number for dj like is CG1984 and djl as short symbol is okay.
Kind regards Christina
