Abstract excerpt
Paired box transcription factor 7 (Pax-7) cDNA was isolated from the skeletal muscle and brain of alevin and adult stages of Atlantic salmon, identifying 10 variants categorised as novel or established insertions (ins) or deletions (del). Two putative Pax-7 paralogs were identified (denoted Pax-7alpha and Pax-7beta) on the basis of the length and sequences of intron 3 (218 and 248 bp) and versions of ins1 and...
