Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60855
Dear Cindy,
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:
Mutants of straightjacket affect an auxiliary Ca2+ channel subunit and causes
defects in presynaptic exocytosis.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, stj.  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.

Hello Rachel,
straightjacket (stj) corresponds to CG12295 located on chromosome 2R.  Please
feel free to let me know if you need further information regarding this.
