EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
There are great opportunities for undergraduate researchers; graduate student and postdoctoral trainees; genetics students at
local undergraduate institutions; and genetics educators.
Wednesday, March 4
10:30 am-4:00 pm: GSA Trainee Boot Camp
Advanced Registration Required
Based on feedback from trainees both in focus groups and individual conversations, GSA will implement a pre-conference
“bootcamp” with a series of professional development workshops. Open to Grad Students and Postdocs only.
4:00-7:00 pm: Preparing your Educational Resources for Online Publication
Advanced Registration Required
Educators who have been wondering how to prepare their teaching resources for publication in an online repository should
apply for this workshop, which will guide attendees through the submission process for both CourseSource and GSA PREP,
and give them a dedicated time to work on their submissions. Robin Wright, Editor-in-Chief for CourseSource and GSA
Education Committee member; Sarah (Sally) Elgin, GSA Education Committee member and member of the GSA Board of
Directors; and Beth Ruedi (GSA) will be on hand to describe the two resource portals, answer questions, and provide guidance
to attendees.
5:00-7:00 pm: GSA Education Special Interest Group Mixer
Faculty with a passion for genetics education are encouraged to attend this event, where they can mix and mingle with other
educators. Current members of the Education SIG can catch up on actions taken by GSA with regards to the education
initiative, and those who are not yet SIG members can learn about the Education SIG. Information about GSA PREP, the
Primers in GENETICS, and other education-related opportunities will also be available.
Thursday, March 5, 2015
7:15-8:30 am: Undergraduate Mixer
On the first full day of the conference, undergraduate researchers will network on their own during breakfast, forming a peergroup that will help provide lasting support for the remainder of the meeting.
8:30 am–12:30 pm: “The Genetics Conference Experience”
Invitation-only
The GSA Genetics Conference Experience provides students from genetics classes at local undergraduate institutions with the
unique opportunity to observe distinguished career scientists present their current research in a conference setting. The
students, accompanied by their professor, will receive a background lecture and participate in an interactive discussion before
attending part of a plenary session. This informative and engaging program is meant to give students a glimpse into the real
world of genetic research, and is NOT intended for students who are already involved in scientific research, but rather will
provide students with the opportunity to learn about current scientific research outside of a textbook, witness the
communication of scientific research first-hand, and ideally will foster an interest in furthering their science education. It is free
of cost, and invitation-only.
12:45-2:00 pm: GSA Career Luncheon
Ticket Required
The GSA Career Luncheon is an excellent opportunity for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows to have

University, Raleigh; and Jeremiah
Zartman, University of Notre Dame.
With the rapid advancement of molecular biology
and gene editing tools, the concept and rationale of
simpler model organisms is being blurred, yet it is
clear that Drosophila still has a great deal to offer the
scientific community in both fundamental and
applied research in many areas for a long time to
come. In this workshop, speakers will discuss how
computation and big data approaches can employ
Drosophila either as a tool or a test bed to break
down barriers between individual fields as well as a
powerful system that provides the impetus and the
means to advance into unexplored intellectual
territories. The goal is to provide a forum for
investigators working on computational and big data
problems to discuss how Drosophila researchers can
extend their studies to impact a wide range of both
medically and agriculturally relevant questions, learn
about available resources and techniques, and form
new collaborations.
Harnessing Community Resources for Drosophila
Neuroscience
Room:
Sheraton 3
Organizers: Cahir O'Kane, University of
Cambridge, UK, and
David Osumi-Sutherland, European
Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, UK
Drosophila allows the dissection of neuronal circuits
on a tractable scale, in an organism that exhibits
sophisticated behaviour. The emergence of
characterized connectome-scale reagent collections
and other transgenes to visualise and manipulate
neurons underpins advances towards this goal. A
major challenge is to integrate these reagents and rich
accompanying datasets with each other and the wider
literature, while providing public access through
efficient text and image-based searches. This
workshop will highlight emerging experimental,
genetic and informational resources for this purpose,
crystallise the needs of the user community, and
discuss how reagents and datasets can be made better
accessible.

Room:
Sheraton 2
Organizers: David Arnosti, Michigan State
University, and
Saurabh Sinha, University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign, and
Hernan Garcia, University of
California, Berkeley
Because of the complex and redundant nature of cis
regulatory information, conventional genomics
approaches have yet to crack the DNA regulatory
code driving metazoan gene expression. Drosophila
affords a uniquely powerful system to uncover the
action of complex transcriptional regulation
involving proximal and distally acting enhancers,
laying the path towards the predictive understanding
of developmental programs. This workshop will
focus on new approaches from biophysics,
computational biology, and mathematical modeling
that offer important opportunities to significantly
move this field of research forward.

Developmental Mechanics
Room:
Sheraton 2
Organizers: Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez,
University of Toronto, and
Guy Tanentzapf, University of British
Columbia
D’Arcy Thompson in his seminal book on growth
and form proposed that physical forces play a central
role in animal development. Over the last twenty
years, the establishment of tools to measure and
manipulate mechanical forces in living organisms has
demonstrated that indeed mechanical forces influence
molecular dynamics and cell behaviors during tissue
morphogenesis. In this workshop, we will review the

FLYBASE GENETIC INDEX TO ABSTRACTS
This is an index of genes mentioned in the abstracts. The current FlyBase-approved gene symbol is given in each case; non-current symbol
synonyms or full names used in the abstracts are not indexed.
The index was prepared computationally based solely on the FBgn & gene symbol information provided by authors during abstract submission.
FlyBase has performed a cross-check between the FBgn and gene symbol provided to ensure the intended gene is indexed. FlyBase is not
responsible for any omissions from the index where authors did not provide information, nor for any incorrect indexing where genes stated to
feature in an abstract do not actually appear.
Indexed terms are followed by abstract program numbers.: 1--157 are platform presentations and 158 and beyond are poster presentations.

Two Journals, One Mission
Scientific peer-review and publishing is a critical component of your research process that deserves to be handled with care,
responsiveness, and speed. Trust your articles to GSA’s peer-edited sister journals. Your peers – practicing scientists – manage the
review and make all decisions on manuscripts. We publish cross-journal article blocks including Genomic Selection, QTL mapping
in multi-parental population, Mouse Collaborative Cross, Genetics of Sex Determination, and others.
One month from submission until first decision means timely discovery of your research. And G3 and GENETICS articles feature
interactive, one-click links to FlyBase, plus Altmetric statistics, and, in mid-2014, ORCID IDs to link all your research output.
Want to see your artwork on the cover? Submit an entry! Not sure if your work is appropriate for GENETICS or G3? Submit a presubmission inquiry. Need to fast-track a paper? Let us know.

The Genetics Society of America is pleased to be working with you to
support the 56th Annual Drosophila Research Conference.
Founded in 1931, the Genetics Society of America (GSA) is a professional scientific society with more than 5,000
members worldwide working to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing the field of
genetics, from the molecular to the population level. GSA represents the collective interests of the genetics and
model organism communities in advocating support for research, educating students and the public about the
importance of genetics, and providing a respected and authoritative voice on genetic issues increasingly in the
public eye.
GSA promotes research and fosters communication through a number of GSA conferences including regular
meetings that focus on cross-cutting areas of genetics and particular model organisms including C. elegans,
Chlamydomonas, ciliates, Drosophila, fungi, mice, Xenopus, yeast, and zebrafish.
GSA publishes two peer-edited scholarly journals:
• GENETICS, which has published high quality original research
across the breadth of the field since 1916, and
• G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, an open-access journal launched in 2011 to
disseminate high quality foundational research in genetics and genomics.
The Society has a deep commitment to fostering the next generation of scholars in the field, including through
providing career development activities and resources and offering travel grant programs including the GSA
Undergraduate Travel Awards and DeLill Nasser Awards for Professional Development in Genetics.
