C. neoformans researchers introduce a toolkit that simplifies CRISPR editing—with HDR rates rarely seen in fungal systems.

A new paper in GENETICS shows how multiple strains of C. elegans developed their own unique methods for controlling gene activity.

Rita Graze and Eric Haag join the G3 editorial team as Associate Editors while Arun Sethuraman becomes a Senior Editor for G3 and Verena Jantsch becomes a Senior Editor for GENETICS.

Our latest blog series shedding light on how members of our community are being affected by recent government funding and policy changes continues with a look into the economic impact to the United States and loss of output from decreased investment in science. Read the previous post on how the changes are impacting early career…

Two new studies published in GENETICS explore how lifestyle and social context influence our understanding of complex health traits like blood pressure

The American Dream once promised that talent and hard work could open doors. For early career scientists, those doors are now closing. Research is being paused or studies outright canceled, funding delayed or completely pulled, and careers cut short—not because of bad science, but because of changing political priorities. Researchers are being forced to choose: leave science or leave the country. These setbacks send a clear message: the U.S. commitment to supporting the next generation of scientists is waning.

We are pleased to announce the GSA Poster Award recipients from the 25th International Worm Meeting! Undergraduate and graduate student GSA members were eligible for these awards, and a hard-working team of judges made the determinations. Congratulations to all! Special thanks to our Poster Chairs Tina L. Gumienny (Texas Woman’s University), Jared Young (Northeastern University),…

Beth De Stasio of Lawrence University will serve as Senior Editor and work with a newly formed team of six Associate Editors to expand the publication of Primers in GENETICS.

The U.S. has long been a global leader in science, but that position is at risk. As research funding drops and political pressures rise, scientists, particularly in academia and research institutes, are at a crossroads—what will happen to their labs and their research? Innovation is slowing, and the next generation of researchers is being driven out. Without renewed support, the future of American science and the benefits it brings to our nation could be lost.

A new, high-quality genome sequence of the aye-aye genome can help us understand what it needs for future conservation efforts.

We’re thrilled to announce the Spring 2025 recipients of the DeLill Nasser Award for Professional Development in Genetics! Awarded twice a year, these grants help graduate students and postdocs take the next step in their careers—whether that’s attending a scientific meeting, participating in a lab course, or connecting with the broader genetics community. The award…
