Fig. 2. Comparison of the deduced partial amino acid sequence of herring myogenin with comparable sequences for zebrafish (Chen et al., 2000), trout (Rescan et al., 1995) and carp (Kobiyama et al., 1998). Dashes represent amino acid residues identical to those of herring; dots represent gaps. The boxed area indicates the basic helix–loop–helix domain.
