We’re excited to be at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference (PAG) from Sunday, January 11 through Tuesday, January 13, and to connect in person with the plant and animal genome community. GSA staff will be at our booth (#325) throughout the conference and would love to chat about GSA programs and resources, the GSA Journals GENETICS and G3:Genes|Genomes|Genetics, and opportunities to publish your research with us. 

We’ve pulled together articles from the latest issues of GENETICS and G3 below that may be especially relevant to PAG attendees and researchers working across plant and animal genome science.
