The band's autobiography ''Genesis Chapter & Verse'' was published in 2007 as a full colour 359 page hardback book. The writing credits were Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford, edited by Philip Dodd.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Banks|first1=Tony|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mYSyx40JaiYC|title=Genesis: Chapter and Verse|last2=Collins|first2=Phil|last3=Gabriel|first3=Peter|last4=Rutherford|first4=Mike|last5=Hackett|first5=Steve|date=18 September 2007|publisher=Macmillan|isbn=978-0-312-37956-8|language=en|access-date=18 February 2022|archive-date=17 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230317181920/https://books.google.com/books?id=mYSyx40JaiYC|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2007, the band's studio albums from ''Trespass'' to ''Calling All Stations'' were digitally remastered by [[Nick Davis (music producer)|Nick Davis]] across three box sets: ''[[Genesis 1970–1975]]'', ''[[Genesis 1976–1982]]'' and ''[[Genesis 1983–1998]]''.

After 2011, Genesis members expressed mixed opinions about the possibility of a reunion. Collins retired from the music industry as an active musician during that year in favour of family commitments,<ref>{{cite news |last=Wardrop |first=Murray |title=Phil Collins calls time on music career |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/8360584/Phil-Collins-calls-time-on-music-career.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/8360584/Phil-Collins-calls-time-on-music-career.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=3 March 2011 |access-date=4 March 2011}}{{cbignore}}</ref> and has stated he can no longer play the drums due to medical issues.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Latest Music News, Band, artist, Musician & Music Video News |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/956317/phil-collins-talks-motown-covers-album-genesis-future |magazine=Billboard |date=14 September 2010 |access-date=21 July 2011 |archive-date=18 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140618015227/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/956317/phil-collins-talks-motown-covers-album-genesis-future |url-status=live }}</ref> Hackett has said "I would say it's possible, but highly improbable.

It's not as if you're going to get Peter as the singer, me as the drummer. I can't play any more, so it's never going to happen", adding it would not be likely for Gabriel to perform songs on which Collins originally sang lead vocals.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Genesis Interviews |url=http://www.uncut.co.uk/blog/the-view-from-here/genesis-interviewed-we-ended-up-as-a-three-piece-because-we-had-too-many-ideas-for-a-five-piece-70663/5 |magazine=Uncut |date=10 September 2015 |access-date=9 October 2015 |archive-date=21 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181121120048/https://www.uncut.co.uk/blog/the-view-from-here/genesis-interviewed-we-ended-up-as-a-three-piece-because-we-had-too-many-ideas-for-a-five-piece-70663/5 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2014, Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, Collins and Hackett reunited for ''[[Genesis: Together and Apart]]'', a BBC documentary about the band's history and the various solo albums the members have released over the course of their careers. Although he participated in the documentary and promoted it, Hackett was very critical following its broadcast, saying that it was biased and did not give him editorial involvement, adding that it ignored his solo work despite his speaking at length about it.<ref name="Genesis Guitarist Steve Hackett Blasts 'Biased' Documentary">{{cite magazine |last=Kreps |first=Daniel |title=Genesis Guitarist Steve Hackett Blasts 'Biased' Documentary |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/genesis-guitarist-steve-hackett-blasts-biased-documentary-20141005 |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=5 October 2014 |access-date=14 October 2014 |archive-date=1 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201044324/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/genesis-guitarist-steve-hackett-blasts-biased-documentary-20141005 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The documentary also did not cover Ray Wilson's time in Genesis. In 2015, Hackett was doubtful about the idea of a Genesis reunion, saying: "Look at the documentary and you'll get an idea of the priorities that come across."<ref>{{cite web |last=DeRiso |first=Nick |title=Steve Hackett Says Genesis Documentary Doomed Reunion |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/steve-hackett-genesis-reunion-2/ |publisher=Ultimate Classic Rock |date=29 January 2015 |access-date=19 August 2015 |archive-date=17 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150717081850/http://ultimateclassicrock.com/steve-hackett-genesis-reunion-2/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2015, Collins announced an end to his retirement and speculated that a reunion with Banks and Rutherford would be possible,<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Kaye |first=Ben |title=Phil Collins returns: 'I am no longer retired' |url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/10/phil-collins-returns-i-am-no-longer-retired/ |magazine=[[Consequence of Sound]] |date=28 October 2015 |access-date=9 November 2015 |archive-date=8 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151108114915/http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/10/phil-collins-returns-i-am-no-longer-retired/ |url-status=live }}</ref> a view that Banks endorsed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tony Banks wants a Genesis reunion |url=http://www.tv3.ie/xpose/article/entertainment-news/177369/Tony-Banks-wants-a-Genesis-reunion |publisher=Tv3 |date=4 September 2015 |access-date=9 November 2015 |archive-date=8 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151108150458/http://www.tv3.ie/xpose/article/entertainment-news/177369/Tony-Banks-wants-a-Genesis-reunion |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2017, Rutherford said he was also amenable to a reunion tour if Collins was interested. Hackett said he would like a reunion of Genesis's 1971–1975 line-up, but stressed it was very unlikely, adding "I won't say any more because I don't want to raise expectations."<ref>{{cite news |title=Genesis open to the idea of reuniting for their 50th anniversary |url=https://www.planetrock.com/news/rock-news/genesis-open-to-the-idea-of-reuniting-for-their-50th-anniversary/ |work=Planet Rock |date=24 April 2017 |access-date=16 February 2018 |archive-date=17 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180217024726/https://www.planetrock.com/news/rock-news/genesis-open-to-the-idea-of-reuniting-for-their-50th-anniversary/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Collins published his autobiography in 2016 and stated in the introduction that he retired from Genesis in 2007.{{sfn|Collins|2016|p=xiii}}
