Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60448
Dear Hajime,
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:
Two spook paralogous genes in ecdysteroid biosynthetic pathway are
complementarily expressed at different developmental stages in Drosophila
melanogaster.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, spo2.  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.

The CG number to which spo2 corresponds is CG40123.
Thanks,
Hajime
