Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60453
Dear Wang,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 48th
(Philadelphia) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
Cullin3 suppresses Hedgehog signaling to pattern the Drosophila retina.
You mention mutants in hib and rdx.  hib is new to FlyBase.
Do you know which of the CG annotations hib 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.  Also what is the full name for hib?
Secondly, by 'rdx' do you mean the roadkill gene (FBgn0026625)?  It
does not seem likely.  If you let us know what gene it is, and what
your rdx is an abbreviation for, I can help you settle on a symbol/name
that is not already in use.
Best regards,
Rachel.

rdx and hib are referd to the same gene, its CG annotations is CG9924.
roadkill is named by Hooper's lab and they abbreviate roadkill to rdx. You 
can get more imformation in Development journal, the linker in NCBI is

hib is named by Jiang's lab. Its full name is hedegehog-induced BTB protein.
