Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60802
Dear Carla,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 47th
(Houston) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
Wntless, a novel regulator of Wnt/Wingless secretion.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, wntless.  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.
Also, if wntless has picked up a more descriptive name/symbol since you
submitted the abstract then this would be a good time to tell me so I
can get it into the database.
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
thanks for your email. wntless corresponds to CG6210. You will see that
for CG6210 there is already a gene record for MRP but from homology
searches I did, I think the MRP would belong to CG6214 and therefore is
wrongly annotated. As abbreviation for wntless we use wls.
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes,
Carla
