An international collaboration reveals the genetic secrets of endangered species. Butternuts are soft and oily, with a light walnut flavor that lingers on the tongue. But few Americans have tasted this endangered native. Now, University of Connecticut undergraduates have published the first full map of the unusual tree’s DNA in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics. The butternut is…

Beyond understanding the admixture process behind the African American population, this model could help in uncovering African Americans’ genealogical fingerprint. We often look to the past to understand the present. Many Americans can trace their genealogies to the 1600s, but for the African American population, understanding of our past is often halted in 1870. This…

Michael McMurray is an Associate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus. He first began using the power of yeast genetics during his PhD studies with Dan Gottschling at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and University of Washington. After investigating the replicative aging process, he became interested in how individual…

Peer reviewers are vital to science, but early career scientists in our field rarely receive formal training in how to be a good reviewer. GSA and GENETICS are addressing this gap with a program that gives early career members real-world peer review experience. Participants will receive online training and advice from GENETICS editors as they…
