Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a polynucleotide encoding GDF-8 in a sample by contacting the sample with an oligonucleotide probe that hybridizes specifically with a polynucleotide encoding GDF-8; and detecting specific hybridization of the oligonucleotide probe to a polynucleotide in the sample, thereby detecting a polynucleotide encoding GDF-8 in the sample. The sample can be a tissue sample or a cell sample, for example, a muscle cell sample, which can be obtained, for example, from a mammal such as a bovine, ovine or porcine mammal, or a human.
