myoblast fusion Gene Set

Dataset	GO Biological Process Annotations 2025
Category	structural or functional annotations
Type	biological process
Description	A process in which non-proliferating myoblasts fuse to existing fibers or to myotubes to form new fibers. A myoblast is a mononucleate cell type that, by fusion with other myoblasts, gives rise to the myotubes that eventually develop into skeletal muscle fibers. (Gene Ontology, GO_0007520)
