The Journal of Human Genetics published 169 papers in 2017. We prepared a special issue describing “genome editing” in 2017, which was published in February 2018. I would like to express my appreciation to guest editors, Drs. Tetsushi Sakuma and Takashi Yamamoto, and all the contributors for their hard work. I hope the special issue will attract attention from a broad readership.
In 2018, we are again planning a special issue. I am looking forward to it, and of course to receiving more exciting manuscripts for the Journal of Human Genetics from all over the world.
