基因表達模式是致力于快速發表高質量的基因表達研究在發展中。使用細胞培養的研究也適用于與發育明確相關的研究，如分析干細胞維持或分化的關鍵調控基因或基因組。感興趣的主要范疇包括:原位研究，如重要或有趣的基因在所有水平的表達模式，包括轉錄和蛋白質表達大基因在發育過程中的時間研究研究組織形成過程中細胞譜系的轉基因研究

Gene Expression Patterns is devoted to the rapid publication of high quality studies of gene expression in development. Studies using cell culture are also suitable if clearly relevant to development, e.g., analysis of key regulatory genes or of gene sets in the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells. Key areas of interest include:In-situ studies such as expression patterns of important or interesting genes at all levels, including transcription and protein expressionTemporal studies of large gene sets during developmentTransgenic studies to study cell lineage in tissue formation
