The International Mammalian Genome Society (IMGS) is a

genomic study of mammals. It has a scientific journal, Mammalian Genome, and organizes an annual international meeting
, the International Mammalian Genome Conference (IMGC).

History and governance

Tsui Lap-chee and Shirley M. Tilghman.[1] It has three stated goals:[1]

The society has served as an organizing body for a number of initiatives in mouse genetics. It coordinated the formation of the

post-doctoral fellow who wins the Verne Chapman Young Scientist Award at the annual meeting also joins the secretariat for the following two years.[6][7] Secretariat elections are organized by a Nomination and Election Committee consisting of six active society members.[5] The society also maintains an administrative office at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The IMGS has an official peer reviewed journal, Mammalian Genome, which was launched with the society in 1991 but published and managed by Springer.[1][5][8] Three of the founding members of the society, Lee M. Silver, Jan Klein and Joseph H. Nadeau, served as the journal's first editors.[8] Mammalian Genome currently accepts both original and review articles on "experimental, theoretical, and technical aspects of genomics and genetics in mouse, human, and other species."[9] Any changes in editors and editorial board members are by mutual agreement of the IMGC Secretariat, Springer and the remaining editors.[5]

Annual meeting

The IMGS holds an annual meeting, the International Mouse Genome Conference (IMGC), that is attended by scientists from around the world. Prior to the formation of the society the mouse genetics community held a number of annual workshops, which the society adopted at the 4th workshop in

bioinformatic workshops and mentoring breakfasts.[7] In addition to the scientific program, the IMGC hosts the annual business meeting of the society, the annual secretariat meeting and often includes cultural or social events characteristic of host city or country.[5][7][10]

In 1997, at the 11th Annual meeting, the IMGS inaugurated its first Verne Chapman Memorial Lecture. The annual seminar was named in honor of Verne M. Chapman, a former Director of Scientific Affairs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and a founding member of the society.[11] A number of awards are also presented at each meeting, including the Verne Chapman Young Scientist Award.[7][12][13]

In 2018, the society established the Mary Lyon Award and memorial lecture. The award was established in honor of Mary Lyon and her role as a mentor and her remarkable career. Mary Lyon began her career at a time when very few women became scientists, and the award recognizesearly- and mid-stage independent female researchers.

From 1999 meeting, the conference program and abstracts are published online.[14]
