Subject: 	FB Help Mailer: 219 Gene data (problem or question)
 comments:    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I'm the corresponding author of the manuscript 'Autosomal mutations affecting Y chromosome loops in Drosophila melanogaster'(BMC Genetics 2008,  9:32 ). On the manuscript there is the description of some mutant lines coming from the Zuker collection. When I submitted the final version of the paper, I was not aware of the new names of these lines, as evidentiated by Prof. Wakimoto (University of Washington). I tried to correct the manuscript, but I only obtained to add a little note which was added to the references list, in a position not easily visible by the readers. According to Prof. Wakimoto suggestions, I'm here to ask if it is possible for you to fix this at least inside FlyBase, according to the following:
    'old name' is 'new name'
    127-109 is Z3741
    142-046 is Z4879
    150-016 is Z1190
    162-039 is Z2203
    167-072 is Z5802
    168-112 is Z6027
    165-104 is Z3-5231
    155-34 is Z3-0873
In addition, lup-3 is ms(2)HB108 and lup-4 is ms(2)HA10/ms(2)HA30, as stated in Table 2. of the paper.
    Best regards,
    Roberto Piergentili
