We are entering the third decade of the 21st century, witnessing extraordinary breakthroughs across various scientific domains, notably in the dynamic domain of Genetics. These developments have significantly propelled forward our understanding and capabilities within the field, revealing both new opportunities and complex challenges.

Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of Genetics, with articles from all researchers, including the members of our accomplished Editorial Boards. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr. M. Geoffrey Hayes, Specialty Chief Editor of Applied Genetic Epidemiology, together with Dr. Huiqi Qu, is focused on new insights, current challenges, latest discoveries, and future perspectives in the field of Applied Genetic Epidemiology.

This Research Topic seeks to illuminate the monumental strides achieved over the past decade within Applied Genetic Epidemiology and to articulate the forthcoming challenges. We aspire to foster a comprehensive dialogue that encapsulates state-of-the-art developments, transformative achievements, and pivotal areas requiring attention to advance the discipline.

To gather further insights within this field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• State-of-the-art methodologies in genetic epidemiology
• Major accomplishments and future needs in the discipline
• Challenges and solutions in specific sub-disciplines of Applied Genetic Epidemiology
• Transformative achievements and their impact on public health
• Reviews reflecting on a decade of progress and the road ahead

Moreover, we welcome submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Data Report, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Systematic Review, Technology and Code.
