19 August 2008 Dear GSA Members: Nearly one year ago, with Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth W. Jones at the helm, a group of Genetics Society of America members took on the significant challenge of modernizing and improving our journal website. Under Suzanne Sandmeyer's leadership, a committee of our colleagues redesigned the Journal's website to reflect the its steadily increasing standards and to showcase our content with a contemporary aesthetic, clean form and delivery. With the August 2008 issue, the new design is in place, and showcases many interesting articles. Visit the new GENETICS online at www.genetics.org! Tell us what you think – we welcome your comments and questions as GENETICS continues to evolve. Tracey DePellegrin Connelly, Managing Editor Mark Johnston, Acting Editor-in-Chief Elaine Strass, Executive Director, Genetics Society of America
