Myostatin rapid sequence evolution in ruminants predates domestication.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Dec 2004

Tellgren Asa, Berglund Ann-Charlotte, Savolainen Peter, Janis Christine M, Liberles David A

Abstract excerpt

Myostatin (GDF-8) is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle development. This gene has previously been implicated in the double muscling phenotype in mice and cattle. A systematic analysis of myostatin sequence evolution in ruminants was performed in a phylogenetic context. The myostatin coding...
