Myogenic differentiation (MYOD) genes encode for skeletal muscle-specific transcription
factors with highly conserved basic helix–loop–helix domain. These genes play key roles in …

Myogenic factor 5 plays actively roles in the regulation of myogenesis. The aims of this study
are to identify the evolution information of MYF5 protein among 10 domestic and mammalian …

Porcine myogenic differentiation genes (MYOD) family play a key role in growth and muscle
development and are therefore considered as candidate genes for meat production traits …

MYOG and MYF6 belong to the MyoD gene family. They code for the bHLH transcription
factors playing a key role in later stages of myogenesis: differentiation and maturation of …

Objective The objective of the present study was to validate genes and genomic regions
associated with carcass weight using a low-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) …

The objective of this study was to assess the association of polymorphisms in MSTN and
MYF5 genes with growth traits in three Chinese cattle breeds. Only one homozygous animal …

MYF5 and MYOD1 belong to the myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) gene family. They code
for the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that play key regulatory roles in the …

This study determined the association between Myf5, CAST and MSTN genes and fattening
performance traits in 228 (Holstein= 103 and Brown= 125) cattle breeds. Classification and …

The myogenic factors (MYF) 5 and 6 are integral to the initiation and development of skeletal
muscle and to the maintenance of its phenotype. Thus, they are candidate genes for growth …

RYR1T gene. Genotypes DD at locus CAST/MspI and EF at locus CAST/RsaI proved less
fatty (thin-nest backfat and lower weight of backfat with skin in loin) than two remaining …
