The "Journal of Heredity" (not to be confused with the journal "Heredity") is a scientific journal concerned with heredity in a biological sense, i.e. genetics. It was founded in 1910 as the "American Breeders' Magazine" of the American Breeder's Association, both of which changed names in 1915 to the "Journal of Heredity" (volume 5) and the American Genetic Association. The journal is indexed in Science Citation Index, Current Contents: Life Sciences, Reference Update, Medline (Index Medicus), EMBASE, BIOSIS, and Chemical Abstracts. [Citation
