Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Statistical methods play a critical role in genetic studies, and advanced statistical methods and applications can enable researchers to expand upon existing results in the field.
This Special Issue aims to highlight new statistical approaches or novel applications of existing statistical methods to studies related to genetics.
We welcome original research and review papers demonstrating cutting-edge research on machine learning methods, causal inference, etc.
