The Victoria Finnerty Undergraduate Travel Award supports conference-attendance costs for undergraduate GSA members who are presenting research at the Annual Drosophila Research Conference. #Dros26 will be held in Chicago, Illinois from March 4-8, 2026. Victoria Finnerty, who died in February 2011, was a long-time member of the Genetics Society of America and served the Drosophila community and the genetics community at large in…

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…

Welcome to our newest editors! Guilherme da Silva Pereira, Li-Lin Du, Jullian Catchen, and Dan Bergstralh join G3 as Associate Editors; Leo Parts and Athma Pai join GENETICS as Associate Editors; and Joanna Masel joins GENETICS as a Senior Editor.

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) affect the anti-aging activity of the blood pressure drug captopril, Kornfeld noticed an unexpected difference in the controls. Since C.…
