Michael A. Rudnicki (Institute for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada): "Gene targeting has allowed the genetic dissection of the roles played by the myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) in the development of skeletal muscle. The introduction of null [loss-of-function] mutations in Myf-5, MyoD, and myogenin into the germline of mice has revealed insights into the hierarchical relationships existing among the MRFs and ...
