标题： Special section: Statistical methods for next-generation gene sequencing data

摘要： 本期刊包含六篇论文，这些论文开发并应用了统计方法，用于分析不同类型的基因测序数据。 这些方法针对不同的数据类型进行了定制，并且在每种情况下，都带来了通过使用统计方法才能发现的生物学见解。 所有论文的共同特点是开发了同时分析不同类型数据的方法（例如，基因型、表型、系谱等）；也就是说，利用一种类型的数据来指导另一种类型数据的分析。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This issue includes six articles that develop and apply statistical methods for the analysis of gene sequencing data of different types. The methods are tailored to the different data types and, in each case, lead to biological insights not readily identified without the use of statistical methods. A common feature in all articles is the development of methods for analyzing simultaneously data of different types (e.g., genotype, phenotype, pedigree, etc.); that is, using data of one type to inform the analysis of data from another type.
