Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50149
Dear Leo,
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:
Inductive activity of photoreceptor cells is regulated by
Su(H)/SMRTER/Ebi co-repressor complex that represses taco, a Drosophila
NRSF/REST-like molecule.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, taco. 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.

Hi Rachel,
I am sorry for being late this response. We keep mentioning about taco
in these several years, though we notice that our gene are the same as
charlatan which Dr. Modolell's lab is working (Development 132,
1211-1222). So, we are going to use the name, chn, instead of taco.
Sorry about this inconvenience for you.
Best wishes,
Leo
