發育進化是進化生物學的一個分支，它綜合了來自發育生物學、系統遺傳學、比較形態學、進化遺傳學以及越來越多的基因組學、系統生物學和合成生物學的證據和概念，以了解生物體的結構和進化。實驗動物學雜志-B:分子和發育進化提供了一個論壇，邀請這些領域匯集他們的見解，以進一步綜合理解從分子進化到生物體水平。歡迎來自所有這些科學分支的貢獻。我們特別鼓勵將基因組學、系統和合成生物學工具應用于發育進化的提交。目前，這些新興領域對發育進化的影響還沒有得到充分的研究，因此，我們迫切希望促進系統和合成生物學與devo evo的關系。

Developmental Evolution is a branch of evolutionary biology that integrates evidence and concepts from developmental biology, phylogenetics, comparative morphology, evolutionary genetics and increasingly also genomics, systems biology as well as synthetic biology to gain an understanding of the structure and evolution of organisms.The Journal of Experimental Zoology -B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution provides a forum where these fields are invited to bring together their insights to further a synthetic understanding of evolution from the molecular through the organismic level. Contributions from all these branches of science are welcome to JEZB.We particularly encourage submissions that apply the tools of genomics, as well as systems and synthetic biology to developmental evolution. At this time the impact of these emerging fields on developmental evolution has not been explored to its fullest extent and for this reason we are eager to foster the relationship of systems and synthetic biology with devo evo.
