The American Breeders Association held its first meeting in 1903 to discuss the 'new' science of Genetics for practical breeding of plants and animals. In 1914, the ABA became the American Genetic Association.
Today, the AGA continues to disseminate achievements in genetics through the Journal of Heredity. The Journal, in print for over 100 years, publishes organismal research in areas of general interest to the genetics community.
The AGA funds an annual President’s Symposium, small conferences and workshops through its Special Events Awards, and the Stephen J O’Brien award to recognize the best student-authored article each year. Membership in the AGA provides eligibility to compete for these awards and participate in Council elections, as well as a Journal subscription and access to the entire 100-year Journal archive. |

ANNOUNCING: ADVANCES IN EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS
Genome 10K: A Proposal to Obtain Whole-Genome Sequence for 10 000 Vertebrate Species
The completion of the human genome project has ushered in a new era of biological discovery. Rapid advances and reduced costs in sequencing technology are revolutionizing our ability to describe genetic diversity in natural and cultivated populations. To prepare for this new era of comparative genomics, the Genome 10K Project proposes genome sequencing for 10,000 representative vertebrate species. This proposal is described in the Invited Perspective, available free online, arising from the first meeting of the Genome 10K Community of Scientists.
Special Collection: Genome Evolution
In recognition of the rapid advances in genomic diversity already underway, the Journal of Heredity is also pleased to make available free online the collection of Invited Reviews arising from the AGA symposium, ‘'Mechanisms of Genome Evolution’', convened by Michael Lynch and Eva Allen in 2007. |
