Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60535 Dear Anne, 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: Cell biological analysis of Cyclin E/Cdk2-mediated replication-dependent histone mRNA biosynthesis. You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, Lsm11. 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. Also, if you have settled on a full name for your gene 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. Best regards, Rachel. Subject: Re: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60535 Dear Rachel, The CG annotation for Lsm11 is CG12924. Sincerely, Anne
