Editor’s Introduction to This Issue

With the recent development of high-throughput DNA microarray and next-generation sequencing techniques for detecting various genomic variants, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have become a popular strategy to discover genetic factors affecting common complex diseases. Many GWASs have successfully identified genetic risk factors associated with common diseases and have achieved substant...

Editor's Introduction to This Issue

Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been facilitating the discovery and functional validation of causal variants in diverse rare diseases. However, for most of the 7,000 rare diseases, pathogenic mechanisms are still unknown. In this issue, Dr. Murim Choi's group (Seoul National University, Korea) comprehensively reviewed ultra-rare diseases and genomics-driven precision medicine. They present...

Introduction to This Special Issue on Human-Robot Interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI), as a field, has made great strides toward understanding and improving our interactions with computer-based technologies. From the early explorations of direct interaction with computers, we have reached the point where usability, usefulness, and an appreciation of technology’s social impact, including its risks, are widely accepted goals in computing. HCI resea...
