Subject: Helping FlyBase: EDRC-CB22
Dear Tamas,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the 19th (Eger)
European Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
The novel Drosophila formin, dDAAM works together with src kinases to
regulate tissue specific actin structures.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, DAAM. 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 regards,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
The dDAAM gene corresponds to the CG14622 annotation located
on the tip of the X chromosome in the cytological region 1F2-3. This
gene is the Drosophila homolog of the recently described Daam1
(Cell. 2001 Dec 28;107(7):843-54).
Best,
Tamas
