AB  - <i>MyoG</i>enin (<i>MyoG</i>) is a basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor that belongs to the
Muscle-specific transcription Factors (MRFs) family which plays critical roles in regulating the skeletal muscle
development and growth. In this study, the complete coding sequence and genomic DNA sequence of goose
<i>MyoG</i> gene were cloned and characterized. The goose <i>MyoG</i> CDS was composed of 684bp that encoded a 227
amino acid protein, including a highly conserved basic helix-loop-helix domain. Multiple sequence alignments
and phylogenetic analysis indicated that the deduced goose <i>MyoG</i> protein was conserved in vertebrates,
especially in the avian species. The goose <i>MyoG</i> genomic DNA sequence we obtained was 3444bp and
consisted of 3 exons and 2 introns.Sem-quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the goose <i>MyoG</i>
mRNA was specifically expressed in the breast muscle and leg muscle tissues, little or no expression was
observed in heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, muscular stomach, brain, intestine and sebum. These data will
serve as a foundation for further insight into the functions of the <i>MyoG</i> gene in Chinese domestic goose.
