Dear Dr. Izaurralde,
I am curating your paper for FlyBase:
Eulalio et al., 2007, Mol. Cell. Biol. 27(11): 3970--3981
"P-body formation is a consequence, not the cause, of RNA-mediated gene silencing."
In this paper, you mention two genes which are either new to FlyBase, or which we do not know the annotation (CG) number for.
These two genes are LSm1 and LSm3.
Could you tell me in each case, what the D.melanogaster annotation ID (CG number) is that corresponds to each gene, so that I can rename the appropriate CG to the LSm symbol in FlyBase.
We also have a record of a "LSm7" gene from your paper:
Tritschler, F., Eulalio, A., Truffault, V., Hartmann, M.D., Helms, S., Schmidt, S., Coles, M., Izaurralde, E., Weichenrieder, O. (2007). A divergent Sm fold in EDC3 proteins mediates DCPI binding and P-body targeting.  Mol. Cell. Biol. 27(24): 8600--8611.
Again, we do not know which CG number the LSm7 gene corresponds to - could you tell me the CG number so that I can rename the gene in FlyBase.
Thanks,
Gillian
