We’re thrilled to announce the Fall 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 honors…

Interviews from newly appointed faculty members shed light on the path to landing a faculty position.

A new study in GENETICS reveals how the PCNA unloader Elg1-RLC protects replication forks during DNA damage, operating in a noncanonical pathway that safeguards genome stability when checkpoint signaling is compromised.

The word “essential” carries weight in genetics: lose the gene, lose the function. Luke Arnce, Jaclyn Bubnell, and Charles Aquadro challenge this intuition in a recent focused comparative study of germline stem-cell (GSC) biology across Drosophila species in G3:Genes|Genomes|Genetics. They tested the famed bag-of-marbles (bam) gene for its conserved function as a switch for daughter…

As GSA prepares to connect with the plant and animal genome community at PAG, we highlight recent GENETICS and GS articles relevant to this year’s conference and beyond.

What makes the Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics (PEQG) Conference so special? For many researchers, it’s the rare chance to gather with experts who work across an incredible range of model systems, approaches, and questions, all while sharing a deep common interest.

Adriana Bankston, a former AAAS-ASGCT Congressional Policy Fellow in the U.S. House of Representatives*, shares how she used her background as a scientist to shape policy during uncertain times. She explains why advocacy matters at every career stage, and how individual voices can make an impact in the U.S. Congress.

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.
