Subject: comments about argos gene and pointed gene
Dear Sirs,
There appears to have been some errors made in informations about argos and
pointed genes in flybase.
argos:
Our argos allele, argos257, is amorphic allele, not hypomorph, as published in Okabe et al.,1996. Recently, we also checked the argos locus in argos<up>
257</up> by PCR and found it was deleted almost entire of the first exon including the translation initiation site.
pointed:
We used the allele name, pnt7848Delta78, in Okabe and Okano, 1997. However
, It was our miss in this allele name. This allele is same as pnt<up>7825Delta
78</up>, so please change this in the information of flybase.
Thank you.
Masataka Okabe
