Brief description Myoblast fusion is a poorly understood process of crucial importance during muscle growth and repair. Furthermore, engineered myoblasts can be introduced to fuse with mature muscles, forming a stable hybrid organ within the adults, thus offering novel therapeutic possibilities in the future. In this research, we will undertake the first systemic, genome-wide approach to identify and characterise the gene networks underlying muscle fusion in vertebrates.
