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 and genomics community.
The AGA funds a bi-annual President's Symposium, as well as: small conferences and workshops through its Special Events Awards; grad student and postdoc research through the Evolutionary, Ecological or Conservation Genomics award; and the annual Outstanding Paper award for the best student-authored article in Journal of Heredity.
The American Genetic Association is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization
This issue of Journal of Heredity spotlights the aquatic environment in all is glory, from the scale of copopod splash pools to that of entire coral reefs.
