Dear Hao and Kim,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'mei-P22 encodes a novel protein required for the initiation of meiotic recombination.'
You mention mapping two genes, mei-P22 and mei-W68 with P insertions.
Could you tell us the symbols for the P insertions in both cases? That way
we can capture the mapping data rigorously for FlyBase. It is nice if we can
keep as many gene records anchored to the map as possible.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.
PS: Hao's email address is not in FlyBase, so I'm sending it to both of you
at Kim's address.

Dear Rachel,
with regards to your inquiry:

> Could you tell us the symbols for the P insertions in both cases?
mei-P22 is not mapped relative to any P insertions, it is itself a P
insertion mutation mapping to 65E. We have also genetically mapped
it between ru and h, at approximately map position 21.5.
mei-W68 on the other hand was mapped relative to P insertion
mutations (lethals from the genome project). The genetic order is as
follows:
l(2)k09810 [l(2)01103, l(2)k00705, l(2)k16914] mei-W68 l(2)k06323
[l(2)05338, emm].
The genes in brackets are not ordered relative to themselves. Some
of this data is based on physical rather than genetic data. For
example, the insertions 1103, k705, k16914 and k6323 are all on the
P1 clones DS571 and DS7982. The rest of the insertions are not
anywhere on the contig (DS00433)
It has been reported that l(2)05338 is allelic to sm.
Hope this covers the situation.
Truly yours,
Kim
