Figure 6

(A) Partial structure of the myostatin transcript from Blonde d'Aquitaine (BAB) and wild-type (WT) alleles. At top, the BAB allele contains the 41-bp additional exon (blue) and can be detected on qPCR by the probe 41 (blue) and probe W (black). At bottom, the wild-type allele, without the additional exon can only be detected by the probe W. Relative expression of myostatin transcript from twelve muscle samples detected by the probe W (B) and the probe 41 (C). 1-9: BAB homozygous (G/G) animals. 10: BAB heterozygous (G/T) animal. L3, L5: Limousine homozygous (T/T) animals.
