WIREs Developmental Biology

Coming in 2012

WIREs Developmental Biology

An important new forum to promote cross-disciplinary discussion, published in association with the Society for Developmental Biology
An authoritative, encyclopedic resource addressing key topics from the perspectives of cell and molecular biology, stem cell biology, plant biology, evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience
Content is fully citable, qualifying for abstracting, indexing, and ISI ranking

Scope

Developmental biology is concerned with the fundamental question of how a single cell, the fertilized egg, ultimately produces a complex, fully patterned adult organism. This problem is studied on many different biological levels, from the molecular to the organismal. Developed in association with the Society for Developmental Biology, this publication will provide a unique interdisciplinary forum for this important field.
