“…As a result, even after a long period of preservation in Europe, these breeds have not lost their relationship with native breeds, resulting in higher heterozygosity for ALxx. Other breeds, such as ZIMxx ( Muchadeyi et al, 2007 ), BANG ( Islam and Nishibori, 2009 ), ARw ( Wang et al, 2023 ), SHsch ( Yonezawa et al, 2020 ), ARsch ( Noorai et al, 2012 ), PIxx and BHwsch ( Malomane et al, 2019 ) exhibit unique genetic characteristics or have complex breeding histories. Overall, prioritizing the conservation of these breeds can maximize the preservation of genetic diversity with limited funding.…”

“…Studies for genetic factors often require specific animal models to correlate their phenotypes with the genes of interest [1]. Improvement of analytic methods and tools revealed the association between specific traits and genetic variants and mutations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms in poultry species [2][3][4]. However, further experimental demonstrations are still required to conclude that the phenotypes are regulated by specific genes.…”

The myostatin (MSTN) gene is considered a potential genetic marker to improve economically important traits in livestock, since the discovery of its function using the MSTN knockout mice. The anti-myogenic function of the MSTN gene was further demonstrated in farm animal species with natural or induced mutations. In poultry species, myogenesis in cell culture was regulated by modulation of the MSTN gene. Also, different expression levels of the MSTN gene in poultry models with different muscle mass have been reported, indicating the conserved myogenic function of the MSTN gene between mammalian and avian species. Recent advances of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing techniques have led to development of genome-edited poultry species targeting the MSTN gene to clearly demonstrate its anti-myogenic function and further investigate other potential functions in poultry species. This review summarizes research conducted to understand the function of the MSTN gene in various poultry models from cells to whole organisms. Furthermore, the genome-edited poultry models targeting the MSTN gene are reviewed to integrate diverse effects of the MSTN gene on different traits of poultry species.
