Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60320
Dear Lorri,
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:
Drosophila homologs of FANCD2 and FANCL function in DNA repair.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, Fancl.  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 wishes,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
The CG annotation that corresponds to FANCL is CG12812.  Here's the reference:
Meetei AR, Yan Z, Wang W.  FANCL replaces BRCA1 as the likely ubiquitin ligase
responsible for FANCD2 monoubiquitination.   Cell Cycle. 2004 Feb;3(2):179-81.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Lorri
