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.

We are pleased to announce the election of five new leaders to the GSA Board of Directors.

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…
