Sex-dependent expression of the transcription factor ATF4 in adipose tissue results in increased tolerance to methionine deprivation in female Drosophila melanogaster.

Sacred fir trees in the mountains outside Mexico City are facing high levels of air pollution. Genetic maps are helping scientists understand how the trees cope and how to protect them.

We’re excited to welcome a new group of editors to the GENETICS editorial board. We can’t wait to see the incredible insights these new faces will bring to our Journals.

The New World screwworm is making a dangerous comeback. Now, scientists have decoded its genome—a breakthrough that could slow and stop its spread.

Characterizing how mutations bring about phenotypic changes is a common strategy for identifying molecular underpinnings. A perspective article in GENETICS challenges the way researchers categorize mutations as gain-of-function and advises how to avoid misleading labeling.

Researchers show that the key to helping crops withstand shifting conditions may lie in balancing speed with flexibility.
