A new paper is out where transgenic mice that over-express PGC1alpha exhibit greater endurance capacity. Science Blog link
It would be interesting to examine variation of this gene between humans and other primates and between human populations.
endurance running - important human adaptation ??
other genes related to running (with links):
in mice - PPAR
in humans - ACTN3
