Utilizing statistical tools in genetic studies: Applications, challenges, and future directions

Genetic studies have witnessed a paradigm shift with the advent of high-throughput technologies, enabling researchers to generate massive datasets for understanding the complexities of the human genome and other organisms. Statistical tools play a pivotal role in extracting meaningful insights from these vast datasets, aiding in the identification of genetic variations, association studies, and unraveling the genetic basis of complex traits. This research paper provides a comprehensive review of the applications of statistical tools in genetic studies, discusses the challenges associated with their implementation, and outlines potential future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
