German Genetics Society

Welcome to the GfG!

As the German Genetics Society (GfG), we warmly welcome all scientists working on genetic and epigenetic questions and related methodologies.

 

GfG Symposium “Epigenetics & Chromatin”

From September 24 to 26, 2025, leading experts and early-career researchers in epigenetics and chromatin research gathered at JLU Giessen for an inspiring exchange. The symposium impressed with excellent lectures, lively poster sessions, refreshing flash talks, and an open, dynamic atmosphere.

Who are we?

In addition to geneticists with a scientific focus on classical breeding experiments, on the application and further development of DNA-modifying techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 or on the establishment and analysis of high-throughput sequencing, researchers with epigenetic approaches and questions also find a home in the GfG.
