The Genetics Society of Korea (GSK) was founded in 1979 to promote the field of genetics and to advance our understanding of genetics at all levels. For this purpose, we foster excellence in research and education in genetics. Most importantly, we provide a communication hub for the scientists in all genetic disciplines. The GSK publishes an international journal Genes & Genomics bimonthly. We organize annual meeting in conjunction with the Korean Association of Biological Sciences (KASB) and symposia, and encourage researchers by means of academic awards. Besides of the scientific and academic activities, we also provide relevant genetic issues to the public by publishing a series of monographic publications.

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
