Genetics Society of America
GSA connects you to the field through a range of scholarly and community publications: our peer-reviewed journals offer two distinct platforms for communicating high-quality original research; our blog brings perspective to your research and career; and our newsletters keep you up to date with the latest opportunities and news from your community.
GENETICS publishes high-quality genetics and genomics research that expands scientific boundaries—we’ve been building the field since 1916. With its broad readership, rich history, and responsive editors, GENETICS brings the latest in publishing innovations to the communities it serves. We invite you to submit your research and discover the fast turnaround times and helpful review process for yourself.
Get your useful data out into the world by publishing in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics. G3 publishes high quality foundational research, particularly studies that generate useful genetic information, such as mutant screens, single gene studies, genome maps, genome sequence data, GWAS and QTL studies, software, data resources, and new methods. The Editorial Board of G3 believes that rapid dissemination of such data lays the foundation for many important insights.
We treat authors as colleagues, not adversaries. Your time is important—and so is your research. Peer editors oversee the review process and give you clear guidance on how to address any reviewer comments; our helpful editorial staff keep the process moving and on time. We make it easy to submit: no formatting requirements on initial submission. Our dedicated editors work hard to keep time to first decision at around a month. And because we’re agile and community-driven, we’ve long been at the forefront of publishing innovations.
The review experience has been the single most useful and pleasant of my career. The reviews were constructive and fair, the editor provided exceptionally clear guidance, and turn-around on the revision was lightning fast.
Genes to Genomes, the GSA blog, features news from the GSA community, highlights from the GSA journals, and posts from staff and guest authors about careers, professional development, science policy, publishing, education, outreach, equity and inclusion, and the intersections of science, art, and culture.

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...
AbstractBees are palynivorous insects that vary widely in the number of plant families from which they collect pollen. Their evolutionary history has been marked by multiple transitions in diet breadth between specialists that only visit specific plant genera (narrow diet breadth) and generalists that visit multiple large plant families (broad diet breadth). Understanding the evolution of sensory systems associated with changes in the detection, discrimination, and gustation of different pollen in bees can shed light...
AbstractFlowering plants display extensive variation in selfing rate, a trait with significant ecological and evolutionary consequences. Many species use genetic mechanisms to recognize and reject self-pollen (termed self-incompatibility or SI), and the loss of SI is one of the most common evolutionary transitions among flowering plants. Despite the ubiquity of transitions to self-compatibility (SC), little is known about the genetic architecture through which SC evolves. Specifically, it is important to determine if SC has a...
