Gene Expression Patterns Aims and Scope: Gene Expression Patterns is devoted to the rapid publication of high quality ‘‘cloning and expression’’ papers, papers reporting patterns of expression of interesting or important genes during development, or the results of molecular or gene expresssion screens analysing interesting developmental events or stages. The papers will be reviewed and published very expeditiously. There is no specific length limitation for the papers provided that the results are reported succinctly. Colour illustrations will be reproduced free of charge to the authors.

Cover photo: Immunocytochemical analysis revealing that Tbx2 expression (green signal) does not occur in CPA1-positive exocrine tissue (red signal) in the mouse pancreas. Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue signal). For more information, see the article by Begum and Papaioannou (2011), Gene Expression Patterns 11, 476–483.
