英文简介：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 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.genesis 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.中文简介：（来自Google、百度翻译）截至2000年1月，发育遗传学已更名并重新发布为genesis: 遗传学与发展杂志，并具有新的范围和编辑委员会。该杂志专注于研究动植物发育遗传学和胚胎学过程的基本机制的工作。随着人们对遗传学与进化变化之间相互作用的认识的提高，尤其是在发育过程中，我们鼓励所有生态位提交手稿。正在完成测序的基因组数量的扩大将有助于对发育问题进行遗传和基因组检查，即使模型系统不适合 “经典遗传” 模式。因此，我们鼓励提交所有物种的手稿。其他特别感兴趣的领域包括: 1) 表观遗传学，微rna和环境在发育过程中的作用; 2) 全基因组研究; 3) 用于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。genesis提出了评论，完整的研究文章，简短的研究信，最新的技术报告促进了对基因功能及其在复杂发育过程中的作用的理解。
