Subject: Gene assignment for KG00288
Hi Rob,
Kathy Matthews asked me to look at the mapping of a hand full of
insertion lines, for which there was a conflict between the Stock
Center and FlyBase cytology.  One of the lines was KG00288
(FBti0020902).  This one is tricky because the insertion is in TE Doc
and only 1-38 of the flank is unique.  Nevertheless, you had the
correct R4 map coordinate (2L: 15639242) in the table you sent me in
September.  However, FlyBase has KG00288 as an allele of CG6214.  As
far as I can tell, this is spurious and there should be no gene
assignment for KG00288.
Best regards,
Bob
