Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-60689
Dear Neetu,
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:
Deciphering the roles of histone demethylases in chromatin-based mechanisms 
during development.
You mention a gene symbol that is new to FlyBase, HDM (LSD1).  Can
you say 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.

Dear Rachel,
Thank you for getting in touch with me regarding the gene named 
in my abstract (Dmel\LSD1).  The accession # for this gene is 
CG17149.  I am currently in the process of sequencing and 
characterizing a clone I identified that corresponds to this gene 
sequence.  Would it be possible to reference my abstract if this 
information will be noted on Flybase?
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,
Neetu Singh
