Yeast circumvent Dollo’s Law and reacquire traits lost tens of millions of years ago from distant relatives. Dollo’s Law, first proposed in the 19th century, holds that evolutionary losses are irreversible — if a species discards a complex trait, it will never reacquire exactly that trait. However, a study published in Genetics highlighted one way that unicellular fungi can…

GENETICS is pleased to announce three new editors for the Gene Expression section of the journal: Julie Claycomb, Joseph Bondy-Denomy, and Geraldine Seydoux. Julie Claycomb Julie Claycomb holds a longstanding interest in gene regulatory mechanisms involved in germline development. She started her lab in the Dept. of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, in 2011. She…

GENETICS is pleased to announce the addition of new sections as part of a topical reorganization to best convey its scientific interests.

Stepping up to the helm of a journal like GENETICS is no easy task, but Howard Lipshitz is ready for the challenge. * GENETICS and GSA have been a part of Lipshitz’s career from the very start. “I joined the Society in 1979 as a student member so that I could get a monthly copy…

NUN bodies in C. elegans offer clues about nervous system differentiation. One of the most active areas of research today explores the differences between individual cell types and how cells become differentiated. This specialization of cell types relies on changes in gene expression, but how those changes are orchestrated remains unknown. Now, research published in…
