Gene Expression Patterns
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: On page 19 of this issue, Rock et al. describe the results of a screen for new genes expressed in the Polarizing Region of the mouse limb bud. The cover figure shows the expression of the novel gene Tmem16a (lower panels) compared to that of Sonic hedgehog (upper panels) at E10.5 (left) and 11.5 (right).
