The development of DNA-based genetic markers has had a revolutionary impact on animal
genetics. With DNA markers, it is theoretically possible to observe and exploit genetic …

▪ Abstract Myostatin is a secreted protein that acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle
mass. During embryogenesis, myostatin is expressed by cells in the myotome and in …

The myostatin (MSTN) gene is important because of its role in regulation of skeletal muscle
growth in all vertebrates. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was utilized to successfully target the …

On the back of the genomics revolution significant investment has been made towards the
identification of candidate growth genes in livestock that can be used to speed up genetic …

The discovery of myostatin and our introduction to the “Mighty Mouse” over a decade ago
spurred both basic and applied research and impacted popular culture as well. The …

Myostatin is a member of the TGF-β family that functions as a negative regulator of skeletal
muscle development and growth in mammals. Recently, Myostatin has also been identified …

Simple Summary Animal by-product meals are considered the safest and most unexploited
source of animal protein in the fish industry. This study evaluated the potential effects of …

Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, is the most produced aquaculture species in the United
States, although production levels have decreased since their peak in 2003. Myostatin …

Aquaculture is one of the fastest‐growing food production sectors. As the global human
population continues to increase and further pressure is added to the prospects of achieving …

Growth is the most important economic trait in aquaculture. Improvements in growth-related
traits can enhance production, reduce costs and time to produce market-size fish. Catfish is …
