Many recent and ongoing research projects generate large amounts of genomic and transcriptomic sequence data. This novel information is being obtained both from common model species in neuroendocrinology and from many species that have not been previously investigated. So far there have been only limited efforts to analyze these new data sets with a focus on endocrinology and neurobiology.
The novel information obtained from genomes and transcriptomes can be analyzed from different points of view to provide new insights into evolutionary neuroendocrinology:
• Analysis to increase knowledge about the neuroendocrinology of specific species or taxa.
• Analysis across multiple species to increase understanding of the evolution of specific neuroendocrine gene families (hormones, neurotransmitters, receptors, transporters, enzymes, etc.).
• Analysis of multiple neuroendocrine signaling systems (axes) to understand their integrative roles in the regulation of developmental and physiological processes.
We welcome original research, review, and mini review articles. We welcome both studies of neuroendocrinology in individual species and studies of individual genes or gene families across multiple taxa.
