Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60371 Dear Ilana, 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: The Role of Drosophila Ligase III in DNA Break Repair. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, lig3. Do you know which of the 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. Best regards, Rachel. Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60371 Dear Rachel, Thank you for the interest. The CG number is CG17227 and we will be referencing it in the poster. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Best regards, Ilana
