Actually, a little clarification is needed. SRS is case-insensitive. There are still some 144 genes with the same name with just the case changed ("Hup" and "hup" for example) which SRS indexes as "HUP" so if you look at the total it says 8868. But they are all there, with the full flybase names. Promise. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Rice | Informatics Division E-mail: pmr@sanger.ac.uk | The Sanger Centre Tel: (44) 1223 494967 | Hinxton Hall, Hinxton, Fax: (44) 1223 494919 | Cambs, CB10 1RQ URL: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/~pmr/ | England .
