The '''''Journal of Genetics''''' is a [[peer review|peer-reviewed]] [[scientific journal]] in the field of [[genetics]] and [[evolution]]. It was established in 1910 by the [[United Kingdom|British]] geneticists [[William Bateson]] and [[Reginald Punnett]] and is one of the oldest genetics journals.<ref name=description>{{cite web |year=2008 |title=About this journal |work=Journal of Genetics |url=https://www.springer.com/life+sci/journal/12041?detailsPage=description |publisher=[[Springer (publisher)|Springer]] |accessdate=2016-12-02}}</ref> It was later edited by [[J.B.S. Haldane]], who emigrated to India in 1957, and continued publishing the journal from there.

On Haldane's death in 1964, his second wife [[Helen Spurway]] continued to publish the journal with [[Madhav Gadgil]], [[H. Sharat Chandra]], and [[Suresh Jayakar]] as editors until Spurway died in 1977 and the journal ceased publication. With the permission of [[Naomi Mitchison]], Haldane's sister, it was revived in 1985 and has been published by the [[Indian Academy of Sciences]], currently in collaboration with [[Springer Science+Business Media]], since then. All volumes published between 1910 and 1994 (vol. 1-73) are available free on the website of the Indian Academy of Sciences.<ref>{{cite web |year=2008 |title=Archive |work=Journal of Genetics |url=http://www.ias.ac.in/j_archive/jgenet/volindex.html |publisher=[[Indian Academy of Sciences]] |accessdate=2016-12-02}}</ref>
