Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-50512 Dear Lei, 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: Spermatogenic expression patterns and male-sterile phenotypes associated with testis-specific proteasome subunit genes. You mention gene symbols that are new to FlyBase, Prosβ5R1 and Rpt3R. 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.
