It would be appropriate and useful to name these genes based on your work. However, the individual Dmel genes aren't explicitly named in your paper, so I'd like to check the best nomenclature to use. Please let me know if you approve of the following suggestions: (Current FlyBase gene symbol is given first, then an arrow, then the suggested new symbol and fullname.) CG1597 => 'Gcs1' / 'Glucosidase 1' CG14476 => 'Gcs2alpha' / 'Glucosidase 2 alpha subunit' CG6453 => 'Gcs2beta' / 'Glucosidase 2 beta subunit' alpha-Man-I (CG42275) => 'alpha-Man-Ia' / 'alpha-Mannosidase class I a' alpha-Man-Ib (CG11874) => 'alpha-Man-Ib' / 'alpha-Mannosidase class I b' (no change to gene symbol here - just including for completeness) CG31202 => 'alpha-Man-Ic' / 'alpha-Mannosidase class I c' alpha-Man-II (CG18802) => 'alpha-Man-IIa' / 'alpha-Mannosidase class II a' alpha-Man-IIb (CG4606) => 'alpha-Man-IIb' / 'alpha-Mannosidase class II b' (no change to gene symbol here - just including for completeness) CG12582 => 'beta-Man' / 'beta-Mannosidase' Thanks for your time, Steven Marygold FlyBase
