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.

A new study in GENETICS has a “circuitous” origin story, according to equal investigator Brian M. Egan. When Egan showed Kerry Kornfeld his inconclusive Caenorhabditis elegans data on how varying concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl)...
AbstractAbiotic stresses, including drought, salt, heat, cold, flooding, and low nitrogen, are harmful to agriculture and increasing in frequency due to climate change. Plants can experience multiple stresses within a single season, which elicit shared or overlapping responses. We searched for core stress-responsive genes in maize across stressors through meta-analysis of public RNA-seq data. Using nearly 1,900 RNA-seq samples with both set operations and random forest classification, we identified a core set of 744 stress-responsive...
AbstractHuman ApolipoproteinB (ApoB) exists in two isoforms that are packaged into low density lipoprotein particles and are major contributors to atherosclerosis. Alternatively, Drosophila Apolipoprotein Lipophorin (ApoLpp) also exists in two isoforms packaged into lipoprotein particles that cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) in second instar larvae where they deliver lipids to neuroblasts. To extend our understanding of ApoLpp function to adult brains and suggest new hypotheses for human ApoB, we document evolutionary conservation between the...
