In our paper (FBrf0212818) we propose that instead of being named Tao-1 this gene should be named Tao. Tao-1 is misleading, implying that the Drosophila gene is more closely related to the mammalian kinase TAO1 than the other two TAO family kinases (TAO2 and TAO3). In fact, it has essentially equal homology to all three. I guess a number of people have published on this gene and called it Tao-1, but we still feel that a name change would be appropriate.
Thanks, and best wishes,
