中文简介

《起源》:《遗传学与发育杂志》提供综述、完整的研究文章、简短的研究信函和最新的技术报告，促进对基因功能及其在复杂发育过程中所起作用的理解。自2000年1月起，《发育遗传学》更名为《创世纪:遗传学与发育杂志》(genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development)，并成立了新的编辑委员会。该杂志侧重于研究发育的遗传学和动植物胚胎学过程的基本机制。随着对遗传学和进化变化之间相互作用的日益认识，特别是在发展过程中，我们鼓励提交来自所有生态位的手稿。正在完成测序的基因组数量的增加将有助于对发育问题进行遗传和基因组检查，即使模型系统不符合“经典遗传”模式。因此，我们鼓励提交涵盖所有物种研究的手稿。其他特别感兴趣的领域包括:1)表观遗传学、microrna和环境在发育过程中的作用;2)全基因组研究;3)研究基因表达和细胞功能的新型成像技术;4)比较遗传学和基因组学以及5)人类遗传和发育障碍的动物模型。

英文简介

genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development presents reviews, full research articles, short research letters, and state-of-the-art technology reports that promote an understanding of the function of genes and the roles they play in complex developmental processes.As of January 2000, Developmental Genetics was renamed and relaunched as genesis: The Journal of Genetics and Development, with a new scope and Editorial Board. The journal focuses on work that addresses the genetics of development and the fundamental mechanisms of embryological processes in animals and plants. With increased awareness of the interplay between genetics and evolutionary change, particularly during developmental processes, we encourage submission of manuscripts from all ecological niches. The expanded numbers of genomes for which sequencing is being completed will facilitate genetic and genomic examination of developmental issues, even if the model system does not fit the “classical genetic” mold. Therefore, we encourage submission of manuscripts covering research from all species. Other areas of particular interest include: 1) the roles of epigenetics, microRNAs and environment on developmental processes; 2) genome-wide studies; 3) novel imaging techniques for the study of gene expression and cellular function; 4) comparative genetics and genomics and 5) animal models of human genetic and developmental disorders.
