Gene expression differences associated with intrinsic hindfoot muscle loss in the jerboa, <i>Jaculus jaculus</i>
2024-02-22
Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate animals that run or jump across sparsely vegetated habitats, such as horses and jerboas, have reduced the number of distal limb bones, and many have lost most or all distal limb muscle. We previously showed that nascent muscles are present in the jerboa hindfoot at birth and that these myofibers are rapidly and completely lost soon after by a process that shares features with pathological skeletal muscl...
