Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60669
Dear Ira,
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 Drosophila ortholog of PINK1, a familial Parkinson's Disease gene, is
required for mitochondrial function during spermatogenesis and resistance to
oxidative stress.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, Pink1.  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,
Sorry for not being clearer in my abstract.  The gene is CG4523.
Best wishes,
Ira
