Subject: ADRC: 406A
Dear Elizaveta,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Identification of a novel modifier of white gene expression.'
You describe a new gene identified as a dosage sensitive P-element
insertion modifier of w allele expression. Do you have a gene symbol/name
or cytological location for the new gene? Does it correspond to one of the
genome project insertions? It is nice if we can keep as many gene records
as possible anchored to the map.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
My abstract 'Identification of a novel modifier of white gene expression.'
describes a gene corresponding to a lethal P-element insertion l(2)10642.
We named this gene Pow (Passion-of-white), since the gene is a dosage
sensitive regulator of white gene expression. On the P1 phage map,
l(2)10642 sequences belong to DS06061.2 clone.
If you need any other information please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Elizaveta.
