Genetics is the branch of biology which deals with heredity and variation in living organisms. The modern science of genetics started with the work of Gregor Mendel in the mid-nineteenth century. He found that organisms inherit traits in a discrete way and the basic units of inheritance are now called genes.

Features a listing of glossaries specific to genetics.
This category deals with the genetics of organelles (small structures within cells that perform dedicated functions). Typically the category will cover ribosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.
This category is for organizations which do not themselves conduct scientific research but aim to spread information about such research. They organize meetings, publish journals and provide research grants for scientists in the field.
Homepages of researchers working in the field of genetics.
