Genetics society of America
Variant namesThe Genetics Society of America was established in 1931 out of the combination of the Joint Genetics Section of the American Society of Zoologists and the Botanical Society of America, with the aim of facilitating communication among scientists with an interest in research and education in genetics and cognate fields. Periodically, the Society has taken an active stance on issues of public policy relating to genetics, most notably in the debate over the putatively heritable correlation between race and intelligence, the teaching of evolution in American schools, and the issues surrounding recombinant DNA and the genetic modification of organisms.
The official organ of the GSA, Genetics remains one of the most important journals in the field.
