Abstract excerpt

The molecular characterization of a cardiac determination gene has been an elusive goal for the past several years. Prior to cloning of the skeletal muscle determination factor MyoD, the presence of a dominantly acting skeletal muscle determination factor had been inferred from the observation th...
