Abstract excerpt
The specification of the skeletal muscle lineage during craniofacial development is dependent on the activity of MYF5 and MYOD, two members of the myogenic regulatory factor family. In the absence of MYF5 or MYOD there is not an overt muscle phenotype, whereas in the double Myf5;MyoD knockout branchiomeric myogenic precursors fail to be specified and skeletal muscle is not formed. The transcriptional regulation...
