Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50649
Dear Gozde,
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:
Role of Blimp1 in anterior-posterior patterning of Drosophila melanogaster.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, Blimp-1. 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.

The CG number is CG5249 and the gene is called Blimp-1 in mammals.
Thanks..
