JOURNAL OF GENETICS

This is the oldest English language journal in genetics. Founded by W. Bateson and R. C. Punnett in 1910, the Journal of Genetics was later edited by J. B. S. Haldane; later, Haldane and his wife, Helen Spurway brought the journal with them to India.After his death in 1964, Mrs. Haldane continued publication of the journal, with Madhav Gadgil and H. Sharat Chandra (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) and Suresh Jayakar (Laboratorio de Genetica Biochimica ed Evoluzionistica, Pavia) as editors, until her own death in 1977. In 1985, with the permission of Haldane’s heirs, the Indian Academy of Sciences resumed publication of the journal.The journal retains its traditional interest in evolutionary research that is of relevance to geneticists, even if not explicitly genetic in nature.

这是遗传学领域最古老的英语期刊。 由B.Bateson和R. C. Punnett于1910年创立的遗传学杂志后来由J. B. S. Haldane编辑; 后来，Haldane和他的妻子Helen Spurway将这本杂志带到了印度。在他于1964年去世后，Haldane夫人继续出版该期刊，由Madhav Gadgil和H. Sharat Chandra（印度理工学院班加罗尔）和Suresh Jayakar（Laboratorio de Genetica Biochimica ed Evoluzionistica，Pavia）担任编辑，直至她自己的期刊。 1977年，在Haldane的继承人的许可下，印度科学院恢复了该期刊的出版。该期刊保留了与遗传学家相关的进化研究的传统兴趣，即使其本质上不具有明确的遗传性。
