Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60661
Dear David,
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 Warts tumor suppressor pathway regulates rhodopsin expression in R8
photoreceptors.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, yorkie.  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,
"Yorkie" corresponds to CG4005, and was first described in the
published reference below.  I hope that helps.
