Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC.06-60416
Dear Jean-Yves,
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 novel SAM domain protein Aveugle is required for Raf activation in
the Drosophila EGF receptor signaling pathway.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, aveugle.  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.
Also, if you have settled on a short symbol for aveugle now would be
a good time to let me know what it is, as then I can enter it in the
database from the outset.
With best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
aveugle corresponds to the CG number 30476. It is the first
characterization of this gene and we decided to name it aveugle. Its
short symbol is ave.
Let me know if you need more details.
Best wishes,
Jean-Yves
