MOLECULAR REPRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT

Molecular Reproduction and Development is an international journal that encompasses the molecular biology of reproductive and related developmental processes in humans multi-cellular animals and plants. In addition to studies in gamete biology (sex cells fertilization and early development) the journal publishes original research articles and invited reviews that impinge on modern reproductive biology such as genetics (including gene regulation and expression) transgenics cell biology and biochemistry as well as studies in physiology endocrinology anatomy and ultrastructure that provide a basis for molecular biological investigations. This unified approach achieves a balanced comprehensive coverage of modern reproductive and developmental biology. Topical coverage includes but is not limited to: spermatogenesis oogenesis fertilization; embryo and fetal development; micromanipulation of eggs and embryos; gene transfer and its applications (including studies with transgenics and the control of gene expression); the use of probes in the diagnosis of congenital defects sex determination and the study of developmental processes; new reproductive technologies in clinical and veterinary medicine; the molecular endocrinology of reproduction and reproductive behavior; molecular biological aspects of fertility; and genetic engineering of livestock and crops.

《分子繁殖与发展》是一本国际期刊，涵盖了人类多细胞动植物生殖和相关发育过程的分子生物学。除了对配子生物学（性细胞受精和早期发育）的研究外，该杂志还发表了原始的研究文章，并邀请了对现代生殖生物学如遗传学（包括基因调控和表达）、转基因细胞生物学和生物化学以及生理内分泌学研究产生影响的评论。为分子生物学研究提供基础的解剖和超微结构。这种统一的方法实现了现代生殖和发育生物学的平衡全面覆盖。局部报道包括但不限于：精子发生、卵发生、受精；胚胎和胎儿发育；卵和胚胎的微操作；基因转移及其应用（包括转基因研究和基因表达的控制）；探针在先天性缺陷诊断中的应用；性别确定和发育过程研究；临床和兽医学的新生殖技术；生殖和生殖行为的分子内分泌学；生育的分子生物学方面；家畜和作物的基因工程。
