Abstract excerpt
The myogenin (MYOG) gene fulfills a key function in muscle differentiation by controlling the onset of myoblast fusion and the establishment of myofibers. In meat-producing animals like pigs and cattle, myofiber numbers have been related to growth capacity. We have characterized the porcine MYOG...
