Increased stress tolerance in female fruit flies linked to differences in fat tissue gene expression
Sex-dependent expression of the transcription factor ATF4 in adipose tissue results in increased tolerance to methionine deprivation in female Drosophila melanogaster.

GENETICS welcomes new editors
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.

Gain or loss? Time to rethink how we describe gain-of-function mutations
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.

From Arabidopsis to Zea mays, there’s a knowledgebase for that
In 2022, GENETICS debuted its first annual overview of selected knowledgebases. In continuance of that tradition, this year’s piece will discuss 12 knowledgebase updates with an emphasis on economically important plant Model Organism Databases (MODs). MODs, which first appeared in the 1990s, are sophisticated knowledgebases that aim to organize and integrate heterogeneous published knowledge for…

A year in a Drosophila lab, measured in carbon
Research published in GENETICS breaks down the total carbon emissions from a PhD student’s research, giving insights into where sustainability efforts matter most.

A new study highlights the need for considering spatial structure in detecting positive selection
Identifying the signatures of natural selection in a population is tricky. A new simulation-based model investigates how population structure affects our ability to accurately predict signatures of selective sweeps.

From flies to potential therapeutics: new insights into treating aggressive childhood tumors published in GENETICS
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are using an unexpected ally in the fight against a devastating childhood brain cancer: fruit flies. In a new GENETICS study, Sam Krabbenhoft and the labs of Peter Lewis and Melissa Harrison developed a Drosophila model to explore the genetic drivers of pediatric diffuse midline glioma—a rare, aggressive tumor…

Re-introducing David Hogness, a pioneer of molecular genetics and developmental biology.
Nowadays, we don’t think twice about running a Q-PCR to check the expression of our favorite gene, or to sequence a genomic region to identify a mutation that causes an interesting phenotype. In contrast, 50 years ago, it could take an entire PhD to accomplish such a task. Molecular genetics has evolved at an exponential…
