Response to a Letter to the Editor from Rodgers regarding “Overexpression of Myostatin2 in zebrafish reduces the expression of dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC) which leads to muscle dystrophy”

We appreciate being made aware of earlier published work on the cloning of zebrafish myostatin 2 (MSTN-2), nomenclature of MSTN family. In the published version of this article, we reported one zebrafish MSTN-2 cDNA (GenBank accession number: AY614000), which is different from two published zebrafish MSTN-2 according to comparison of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences (Fig. 1b). However, two previous published articles which identified zebrafish MSTN-2 cDNA (GenBank accession number: AY687474) [1] and gene (GenBank accession number: AY693972) [2] was not referenced in this article. We apologize for neglecting pertinent references. According to new nomenclature of myostatin family [3], we construct new phylogenetic tree including three zebrafish MSTN-2 to replace old Fig. 3.
