Researchers have found it by creating similar Genes which are responsible for the protein production.

Similarly plants show the proteins similar not to myogloblin but to hemoglobin where there are three types symbiotic ,non symbiotic and truncated heamoglobulins. This is mentioned here because hemoglobin and myogloblin have resemblance similar as they are used in oxygen transportation.
