Early expression of the myogenic regulatory gene, myf-5 , in precursor cells of skeletal muscle in the mouse embryo

Abstract excerpt

We have analysed by in situ hybridization the expression of myf-5, the murine homologue of the human myogenic regulatory sequence myf5, during embryogenesis in the mouse. myf-5 sequences were first detected in the earliest somites (from about 8 days p.c.) in the dermomyotome, before formation of the dermatome, myotome and sclerotome. The dermomyotome is classically considered to give rise to the precursor muscle...
