Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase Hi Steven, I investigated a number of sources of information and can not find the reason for why we equated norpA7 to norpAP24. I can not rule out the possibility that there was some reason for this - but since it is not easily being re-created, this leads me to suspect that it was an error of some sort that led to the statement rather than a factual basis that can not now be recalled. For your purposes, I would assume that it was an error and make the appropriate warning comment in Flybase that this statement should be considered suspect. .. best regards, Mike Steven Marygold wrote: > Dear Michael and Mary, > > > I am currently curating two of your papers for the FlyBase records: > - LaLonde et al., 2005, J.
