Abstract
With this special issue on the Genetics of Bacteria, the authors shine new light on selections and screens from the past (and on the people that carried these out) while also pointing towards many future directions for bacterial genetics. Their goal is to highlight the GSA journals as a welcome home for reporting discoveries across bacterial systems building on their rich history.
