Dear Nikos,
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:
The role of importin13 in the synaptic connectivity of Drosophila
photoreceptors.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, importin-13.  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 importin-13 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
Actually, importin 13 corresponds to CG7212, which is the homolog of
themammalian importin 13 and it has also been named cadmus.
.
Thank you very much in advance
With best wishes
Nikos
