Subject: Helping FlyBase: EDRC-CB17 Dear Esther, We are currently curating the abstracts for the 19th (Eger) European Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: Investigating the essential role of the phosphatase PP1beta-MYPT-75D in Drosophila non-muscle myosin regulation. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, MYPT-75D. 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rachel Drysdale.
