Three new editors are joining GSA journals, GENETICS and G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics. We’re excited to welcome Arash Bashirullah, Noah Whiteman, and Yun Li to their roles as Senior Advisory Editor for GENETICS, Genome Report Senior Editor for G3, and Associate Editor for GENETICS, respectively. Arash Bashirullah Senior Advisory Editor, GENETICS Dr. Arash Bashirullah is a Professor…

Multiple divergent retrocopies of the well-characterized Ku70 gene were identified in humans and other primates. The last 63 million years of primate evolution have been strongly shaped by genetic retrotransposition; thousands of genes and proteins with new functions have evolved from retrocopies scattered throughout the genome. These retrocopies arise when retrotransposons reverse transcribe a cellular…

New Bolotie method can handle the barrage of sequencing data that posed a problem for conventional recombination algorithms. Humanity has faced many pandemics throughout history, but never before have we tackled an active pandemic while so well equipped with genetic technology. In fact, when SARS-CoV-2 struck, the genetics community produced so much sequencing data so…
