Genetics Society of America
GSA connects you to the field through a range of scholarly and community publications: our peer-reviewed journals offer two distinct platforms for communicating high-quality original research; our blog brings perspective to your research and career; and our newsletters keep you up to date with the latest opportunities and news from your community.
GENETICS publishes high-quality genetics and genomics research that expands scientific boundaries—we’ve been building the field since 1916. With its broad readership, rich history, and responsive editors, GENETICS brings the latest in publishing innovations to the communities it serves. We invite you to submit your research and discover the fast turnaround times and helpful review process for yourself.
Get your useful data out into the world by publishing in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics. G3 publishes high quality foundational research, particularly studies that generate useful genetic information, such as mutant screens, single gene studies, genome maps, genome sequence data, GWAS and QTL studies, software, data resources, and new methods. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of such data lays the foundation for many important insights.
We treat authors as colleagues, not adversaries. Your time is important—and so is your research. Peer editors oversee the review process and give you clear guidance on how to address any reviewer comments; our helpful editorial staff keep the process moving and on time. We make it easy to submit: no formatting requirements on initial submission. Our dedicated editors work hard to keep time to first decision at around a month. And because we’re agile and community-driven, we’ve long been at the forefront of publishing innovations.
The GSA Journals are committed to helping authors get their work in front a wide audience. Our Promotional Toolkit for Authors contains pointers to help you promote your GENETICS or G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics paper, including how GSA and Oxford University Press can help.
The review experience has been the single most useful and pleasant of my career. The reviews were constructive and fair, the editor provided exceptionally clear guidance, and turn-around on the revision was lightning fast.
Genes to Genomes, the GSA blog, features news from the GSA community, highlights from the GSA journals, and posts from staff and guest authors about careers, professional development, science policy, publishing, education, outreach, equity and inclusion, and the intersections of science, art, and culture. Propose a guest post yourself and start a conversation!
New research published in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics lays out a geographical sampling activity tailored for middle school students that helps discover genetic diversity in yeast populations residing in North American oaks.
AbstractGiven the interest in the biogeography and diversity of the Caenorhabditis genus, we established a collection of these nematodes from field surveys on four Indonesian islands. We isolated over 60 Caenorhabditis strains belonging to ten species. Five species were previously known from other locations: C. briggsae, which was predominant, C. tropicalis, C. nigoni, C. brenneri and C. elegans. The five other species are new discoveries for science, and we describe them here as Caenorhabditis indonesiana,...
AbstractBreeding disease-resistant cultivars that meet commercial criteria is essential to sustain banana production threatened by major diseases. Edible bananas are seedless triploid hybrids which represent end-breeding products. Hence, the crucial step in banana breeding is to improve and combine the parents. Currently, little information is available on parental combining abilities and on the inheritance of major traits to effectively guide banana breeding strategies. In this study, a breeding population of 2723 triploids individuals resulting from...
