From rd120@XXXX Wed Mar 03 11:15:56 1999 To: yhiromi@XXXX Subject: ADRC-417B Dear Yasushi, We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming Bellevue (Seattle) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase. I am writing in connection with your abstract: 'Mutant analysis of a transcriptional coactivator MBF1' You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Mbf1. Do you have a map location for Mbf1? 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. From jmarek@XXXX Fri Mar 12 08:01:44 1999 To: rd120@XXXX Subject: ADRC-417B Dear Dr. Drysdale, I reply to your inquiry about mbf1 gene, forwarded to me by Dr. Yasushi Hiromi. Sorry for not contacting you earlier. I would like to add to the information that Yash has already given you. mbf1 maps distal to tra, between RIGHT breakpoints of two deficiencies: Df(3L)st-e4 (mbf1 not included) and Df(3L)st7P (includes mbf1), i.e. between 73A5 and 73A7. Sincerely, Marek Jindra
