Mission
GSA serves an international community of scientists who use genetics to make new discoveries and improve lives.WEB,weblink About GSA, Genetics Society of America, en-US, 2019-12-18, Its mission is to cultivate an inclusive, diverse research community that engages with the public, communicates the excitement and implications of discovery, and serves as an authoritative source of information. Its activities include:- advancing biological research by supporting professional development of scientists
- communicating advances and fostering collaboration through scholarly publishing and conferences
- advocating for science and for scientists
Programs
Investigation of inheritance and heredity
The GSA advocates funding of research in genetics, primarily through its membership in the Coalition for the Life Sciences (CLS), Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), Research!America, and American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS). These organizations of leading scientists fosters public policies to advance basic biological research and its applications in medicine and other fields. The GSA also strives to inform state and national legislators about advances and issues in genetics.Interaction among geneticists
The GSA organizes and sponsors several conferences for researchers (see below).WEB,weblink Conferences, These include the long-running model organism meetings: Yeast (biennial), C. elegans (biennial), Fungal (biennial) and Drosophila (annual). It has also established the Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics Conference (PEQG, biennial) and its flagship meeting The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC, every four years).Communication of discoveries
The GSA publishes GENETICS, the leading journal for geneticists since the first issue in 1916, and (G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics|G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics), an open-access journal publishing high-quality fundamental research in genetics and genomics.Education of students and the public
The GSA's Education Committee seeks to facilitate the integration of advances in genetics in the K through college curriculum. The GSA communicates to the public advances in genetics and answers to issues by providing expert opinion to the press and others.Publications
GSA publishes two peer-edited scientific journals:- GENETICS. Established in 1916, GENETICS is a monthly scientific journal publishing investigations bearing on heredity, genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The current editor-in-chief is Howard Lipshitz.
- (G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics|G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics). Established in 2011, G3 is an open access scientific journal which provides a forum for the publication of highâquality foundational research, particularly research that generates useful genetic and genomic information such as genome maps, single gene studies, genomeâwide association studies, and QTL studies, as well as mutant screens and advances in methods and technology. The current editor-in-chief is Lauren M. McIntyre.
GSA conferences
GSA organizes a number of scientific meetings, including many focused on model organisms of use in genetic studies.- C. elegans: The C. elegans Meeting is generally held in odd-number years.
- Chlamydomonas: The International Conference on the Cell and Molecular Biology of Chlamydomonas is generally held every four years in North America.
- Drosophila: The Annual Drosophila Research Conference is held annually.
- Fungi: The Fungal Genetics Conference is generally held in odd-numbered years.
- Mouse: GSA has organized both the Mouse Genetics Conference and the Mouse Molecular Genetics Conference.
- Xenopus: The International Xenopus Conference is generally held in even-numbered years.
- Yeast: The Yeast Genetics Meeting is generally held in even-numbered years.
- Zebrafish: The International Conference on Zebrafish Development and Genetics is generally held in even-numbered years. The Strategic Conference of Zebrafish Investigators is generally held in odd-numbered years.
