The Genetics Society of America (GSA) is a scholarly membership society of more than 5,000 genetics researchers and educators, established in 1931. The Society was formed from the reorganization of the Joint Genetics Sections of the American Society of Zoologists and the Botanical Society of America.〔() An Abridged History of the Genetics Society of America〕 GSA members conduct fundamental and applied research using a wide variety of model organisms to enhance understanding of living systems. Some of the systems of study include Drosophila (fruit flies), ''Caenorhabditis elegans'' (nematode roundworms), yeasts, zebrafish, humans, mice, bacteria, ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' (thale cress), maize (corn), Chlamydomonas (green algae), Xenopus (frogs), and other animals, plants, and fungi. ==Mission== GSA's mission〔(GSA Mission Statement )〕 is to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing the field of genetics. It does this by: * Fostering an international community of geneticists by promoting interaction among geneticists (including microbial, plant, animal, human, and population and theoretical geneticists) while cultivating a community of thought leaders in the field. * Ensuring genetics fulfills its potential for broad impact by facilitating the application of genetic tools and approaches in biological research. * Educating students and the public by promoting genetic literacy of students at all levels, and by providing a respected and authoritative voice on genetic issues that are increasingly in the public eye. * Supporting the next generation of geneticists by providing active mentoring, networking opportunities, and support to attract the brightest scientific minds to the field and enable them to pursue successful careers as geneticists. * Communicating discoveries by offering scholarly platforms for publication of high-quality, original genetics research and key foundational discoveries. * Advocating continued support of genetics research by advocating for support of discovery research and promoting the value of genetics research. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Genetics Society of America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
