Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50963 Dear Andrew, 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: Specialized roles for Cks proteins in female meiosis, anaphase progression in syncitial embryros and in preventing polyploidy in mitotic cells. You mention two gene symbols that are new to FlyBase, cks30A and cks85A. Do you know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your genes correspond 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-50963 Hi Rachel, sorry for the delay. the gene we call cks30A is called Cks on flybase. cks85A is CG9790. they are both cks genes based on homology and function, and we named them for their cytological location. andrew
