An insight on the impact of teleost whole genome duplication on the regulation of the molecular networks controlling skeletal muscle growth.
Fish muscle growth is a complex process regulated by multiple pathways, resulting on the net accumulation of proteins and the activation of myogenic progenitor cells.Around 350-320 million years ago, teleost fish went through a specific whole genome duplication (WGD) that expanded the existent gene repertoire.Duplicated genes can be retained by dif
