Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60886
Dear Garrett,
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:
Drosophila X11 regulates the amyloid precursor protein and plays an essential 
role during neurodevelopment.
You discuss a fly gene 'X11' which we believe corresponds to FlyBase
gene record X11L (FBgn0026313).  Could you confirm whether this is so?
Also, you mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, X11B.  Do you
know which of the CG annotations X11B 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.

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for the email. The fly gene X11 (also commonly referred to as  
X11A, X11L, or X11Lalpha) is CG5675; X11B (also referred to as  
X11Lbeta in one publication) is CG32677.
Best,
Garrett
