Completed archive of Journal of Animal Science:
ASAS is pleased to announce the completion of the digitized archive of the Journal of Animal Science (JAS). JAS issues from 1910 to the present are available online at HighWire (http://jas.fass.org). Articles are searchable by author and keywords and are viewable in PDF format. ASAS sincerely thanks the following university libraries and our members who searched their personal libraries to assist in locating all the issues and generously donated them to this project.

Images Web site:
This site is designed to provide images, animations, and video for classroom and outreach learning. The Animal Science Image Gallery is a collaborative project of the USDA National Agricultural Library and the American Society of Animal Science.

QTL Databases:
JAS encourages deposit of QTL and DNA markers in publicly available livestock QTL databases after publication. The following is an excerpt from the 2007 JAS Style and Form regarding deposit of QTL and DNA markers:

Quantitative Trait Loci and DNA Markers. Papers that publish quantitative trait loci or DNA marker association results for livestock are strongly encouraged to make their data available in an electronic form to one of the publicly available livestock QTL databases after the manuscript appears in publication [note that the date on which the paper is posted to the JAS-Papers in Press Web site (http://jas.fass.org/papbyrecent.dtl) represents the official publication date]. Current QTL databases for livestock include, but may not be limited to, the Animal Quantitative Trait Loci database (http://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb) and the Bovine QTL database (http://bovineqtl.tamu.edu/).
