Research Note: Improved feed efficiency in quail with targeted genome editing in the myostatin gene

ABSTRACT: Increased growth rate and decreased cost of feed are main focuses to increase revenue of poultry farms. Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of muscle growth and mutation on MSTN results in increased muscle growth. Due to the antimyogenic function of MSTN, MSTN gains high attention as...
