A Drosophila model of protein mistranslation reveals the effects of serine to valine (V→S) and serine to threonine (T→S) substitutions on development, survival, and longevity where not all effects are detrimental to flies.

Genetics Society of America Early Career Medal recipient Shinya Yamamoto credits his broad veterinary training with shaping his open-minded approach to model organisms, collaborative research, and seeing technical limitations as opportunities.

2025 Genetics Society of America Medal recipient Noah Whiteman uses model systems and precision gene editing to intimately explore chemical co-evolution between species.

We are pleased to announce the recipients of the GSA Poster Awards for posters presented at the 66th Annual Drosophila Research Conference! Undergraduate and graduate student members of GSA were eligible for the awards, and a hard-working team of judges made the determinations. Congratulations to all!

The Victoria Finnerty Undergraduate Travel Award supports conference-attendance costs for undergraduate GSA members who are presenting research at the Annual Drosophila Research Conference. #Dros25 will be held in San Diego, CA from March 19–23, 2025. 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…

The 66th Annual Drosophila Research Conference promises to be a meeting rich with the latest in Drosophila research as well as opportunities to advance your career and connect with a global community of 1,400+ scientists. The organizers Todd Nystul, Michelle Bland, Leila Rieder, Amanda Crocker, and Justin Crocker are hard at work, planning a conference…

New results published in G3 summarize the genetic pathways controlling nervous system structure and explore how a single gene regulates tissue shape in a cell-type specific manner.
