Abstract excerpt
Myostatin (MSTN) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily that negatively regulates skeletal muscle development and growth. In the present study, partial genomic fragments of MSTN were screened for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a hybrid of Culter alburnus (♀) x Ancherythroculter nigro-cauda (♂) individuals from a commercial hatchery population, and two non-synonymous SNPs (c.6T>C...
