minor tail proteins in A1s

smolloy123	Hi All, I know there are typically 5 minor tail proteins after the tape measure gene. But are we also calling the three short genes within the minor tail proteins (gp 29, 30 and 31 in NeruJay, see top phamerator genome in attachment screen shot) minor tail proteins? gp30 and 31 are at least membrane proteins but there is no HHPRED evidence for minor tail proteins. Is this a situation where following phamerator is the right thing to do or would I be perpetuating bad calls? Thanks! Sally 146Kb

welkin	no, we are not calling those three small proteins minor tail proteins any longer. Only the lengthy ones. thanks!
