Abstract excerpt
Increased growth rate and decreased cost of feed are main focuses to increase revenue of poultry farms. Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of muscle growth and mutation on MSTN results in increased muscle growth. Due to the antimyogenic function of MSTN, MSTN gains high attention as a potential target and genetic selection marker to increase meat yield in the livestock industry. In addition, MSTN can affect...
