Senior Editor
Alexander Edward Lipka leads a research team at the University of Illinois that applies cutting-edge statistical approaches to quantitative genetics analyses, resulting in more accurate quantification of genomic signals underlying phenotypic variation and prediction of breeding values of agronomically important traits. His lab also develops freely available software that enables the broader research community to apply these approaches to their own work. Here are some examples of publications from his lab:
