American Genetic Association

[1] The association has published the Journal of Heredity since 1914, which disseminates peer-reviewed organismal research in areas of general interest to the genetics and genomics community.

Recent articles have focused on conservation genetics of endangered species and biodiversity discovery,[2][3] phylogenomics, molecular adaptation and speciation,[4] and genotype to phenotype associations.

The American Breeders Association held its first meeting in 1903 to discuss the "new" science of genetics that arose from Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and Gregor Mendel's discoveries of the laws of inheritance.

In recent years, these meetings have focused on a relevant or emerging theme in non-human genetics and genomics research.

A special issue of the AGA's Journal of Heredity is devoted each year to publishing proceedings of the symposium.
