What's a GeneRIF?

Can we talk about myoblast fusion?
Title: Can we talk about myoblast fusion?
This articles reviews and discusses the latest studies related to Myomaker and Myomixer-Myomerger-Minion, including the discovery, structure, expression pattern, functions of the two proteins. [review]
Title: The regulatory role of Myomaker and Myomixer-Myomerger-Minion in muscle development and regeneration.
The data establish that MYMK activity is necessary for normal muscle development and maintenance in humans and zebrafish, and expand the spectrum of congenital myopathies to include cell-cell fusion deficits.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
