Abstract excerpt
The myogenic factors (MYF) 5 and 6 are integral to the initiation and development of skeletal muscle and to the maintenance of its phenotype. Thus, they are candidate genes for growth- and meat quality-related traits. We performed a comparative sequence analysis of the MYF5/MYF6 locus in swine, cattle, dog, chicken and zebrafish on the basis of structural and functional information from human and mouse. Beside...
