Genetics Selection Evolution (GSE) is an international scientific journal of INRAE published by BioMed Central Ltd (BMC)

The journal is under the responsibility of the INRAE Animal Genetics Department, which sets the scope of the fields covered and the editorial policy. The GABI unit is heavily involved in its editorial board.

First published in 1969 as Annales de Génétique et de Sélection Animales, the journal, which became Genetics Selection Evolution (GSE) in 1983, has been an open access electronic journal since 2009. It is dedicated to the publication of original research work dealing with all aspects of genetics and selection of farm and laboratory animals in relation to agronomic applications.

Genetics Selection Evolution is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal dedicated to original research on all aspects of genetics and selection in farm animal species and in other species that provide novel and/or relevant insights into the genetics of farm animals.

With the vast, recent increase in the amount and spectrum of available genetic, genomic, phenomic, and other -omic data, there is an ever-increasing requirement for the collaboration and successful integration of varied results, techniques, and methods in furthering the advancement of the future of genetics to benefit farm animals and associated production systems.

The journal Genetics Selection Evolution focuses on contributing to these developments by providing a high-visibility forum for the dissemination of original reports, reviews, and perspectives that will prompt new insights and discussions, as well as broaden the readers’ scientific interests.

Renowned for its in-depth and constructive analyses, the journal *Genetics Selection Evolution* is dedicated to publishing original research on all aspects of genetics and selection in farm animals and other species that provide new and/or relevant insights into the genetics of farm animals.

As the official journal of the French National Institute for Agricultural, Food and Environmental Research (INRAE), this journal provides a high-profile platform for the dissemination of research likely to stimulate new perspectives and debates in animal genetics. All articles are indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and HAL.
