📢NEW GENOME ALERT In #G3journal, Au et al. present genome assembly of the marine threespine stickleback that breeds in Rabbit Slough in Cook Inlet. This research will offer new insights into the genomic basis of vertebrate adaptation to natural habitats: buff.ly/ypw2O1d

📢 NEW GENOME ALERT  In #G3journal, @SaraFrancoOrteg, @Andrea_L_Harper et al. present genome assemblies of two new wild plant species, S. dulcamara and S. nigrum, which show contrasting susceptibility to plant pathogen R. solanacearum. Read more: buff.ly/l6eCRdl

🎥 In our latest Leadership Dialogue seminar, Teresa Lee (UMass Lowell) shares her journey as a new PI and her award-winning approach to inclusive, compassionate leadership in science. Hear her tips on teaching, mentorship, and more! 📺 buff.ly/NtEhKah

In #GENETICS, Williams et al. present a novel statistics—haplotype score—for summarizing identity-by-descent sharing that can distinguish half-sibling pairs from grandparent-grandchildren pairs and assign individuals to ancestor vs descendant generation. buff.ly/SaZP3CA

When science funding gets cut, the economy suffers. 📉 Start-ups stall, jobs disappear, and discoveries never reach the public. Science isn’t a cost—it’s capital. Read how disinvestment is hurting the U.S. innovation economy: buff.ly/S0MvfEI

In #G3journal, @AMV_REDOX et al. discover that increasing the activity of the reverse transsulfuration pathway can compensate for the detrimental effect of the glutathione reductase (gsr-1) mutation allowing normal development and growth in #Celegans. 🪱 buff.ly/hPwSJrQ

⏰ Don’t forget! Join Evelyn Valdez-Ward & Bear Ulrich from @ReclaimingSTEMI on July 31 (1–2:30 p.m. EDT) for a hands-on workshop on values, influence, and setting boundaries that support your wellbeing. Register now: buff.ly/7B8A9fp You'll need a GSA account!

🎉Congrats to the #Worm25 Art Show winners!🎨 From stunning visuals to creative tributes, your work brought C. elegans to life. See the winning entries + complete gallery: buff.ly/ExrBiUX

TODAY🚨 Join us at 2pm EDT to hear from 2025 GSA Early Career Medal recipient Shinya Yamamoto! In this lecture, Yamamoto will explore how Drosophila serves as a powerful model for uncovering the genetic roots of human disease. 🪰 Register now: buff.ly/mlWrg9C

Work from @Ashe_wormlab in #GENETICS identifies the roles of several genes in either the establishment or maintenance, or both processes, during RNAi-induced transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in #Celegans. 🪱 Read more: buff.ly/uprrPrd

In this #G3journal study, Liu et al. deleted the HZA enhancer responsible for cellular response to excess zinc levels in #Celegans, showing how the deletion controls expression of two nearby cdr-1 and F35E8.10 genes but not distant genes. 🪱 Read more: buff.ly/2rQt16D

Meet the six Associate Editors joining #GENETICS to grow our Primers series, overseen by Beth De Stasio! They’ll help students build skills in reading and analyzing primary literature—future scientists and citizens alike. 🔗 buff.ly/VtMLPNv

In #GENETICS, Gonzalez-Baez et al. uncovered a novel role for melanization in regulating wound healing via limiting polyploid cell growth post-injury in #Drosophila, where loss of melanization leads to an unexpected exacerbation of polyploid cell growth. buff.ly/u0AgtT8

In #G3journal, @summerbthyme et al. present a new #zebrafish ebf3a loss-of-function mutant. A detailed morphological and behavioral characterization of the mutant reveals smaller hypothalamus, cerebellum, and hindbrain regions with impaired brain function: buff.ly/iqQl98X

In #GENETICS, Aragon et al. present a probabilistic method to infer the division, degradation, & mutation rates from the observed genetic diversity in cell populations that provides a sampling of phylogenies consistent with the observed mutations. buff.ly/yYFWnbO

New in #G3journal: @tpook92 et al. used stochastic simulations with MoBPS software to show that rapid cycle breeding has the potential to be a valuable strategy in #maize breeding to achieve substantial genetic gains in a limited time frame. 🌽 Read more: buff.ly/43bZih8

New research in #G3journal reveals cohesin dynamics in Schizosaccharomyces pombe by genetically dissecting relationships between temperature-sensitive, lethal mutations in cohesin and their suppressor mutations. Read more: buff.ly/CzzwY5i

In #GENETICS, new transcriptomic analysis in #Drosophila melanogaster & D. simulans accessory glands & testis from low & high latitude areas suggest that parallel latitudinal selection responses play a key role in expression adaptation for both species: buff.ly/lfNyLa0

🎉 Big week at ISMB/ECCB 2025! Congrats to #GENETICS Senior Editor Hongyu Zhao, named an ISCB Fellow for his contributions to computational biology! 👏 And don’t miss #G3Journal Editor in Chief Lauren McIntyre’s “Meet the Editor” session—OUP booth, tomorrow, July 22, 10–11am!
