Abstract
Welcome to open access publishing at EvoDevo: a macroevolutionary change in sharing data
Highlights
Patterns of speciation and extinction throughout the history of our planet are a testament to the complex changes in embryogenesis that have created the immense biological diversity that surrounds us
The primary guiding principle in the field of developmental biology is the notion of 'differential gene expression' enunciated some 40 years ago [1] - a simple concept that explains the appearance of cells with many different phenotypes yet sharing a single genotype
We are in the midst of a renaissance of the rigorous study of the developmental basis of biological diversity
Summary
Patterns of speciation and extinction throughout the history of our planet are a testament to the complex changes in embryogenesis that have created the immense biological diversity that surrounds us. The primary guiding principle in the field of developmental biology is the notion of 'differential gene expression' enunciated some 40 years ago [1] - a simple concept that explains the appearance of cells with many different phenotypes yet sharing a single genotype. The field of evo-devo is gaining pace, energised by opportunities such as the freedom to go beyond the handful of genetic model systems at the cellular and molecular levels.
