Clinical Bioinformatician Body of Knowledge—Bioinformatics and Software Core
With the evolution of next-generation sequencing–based testing in molecular diagnostics laboratories, the clinical role of bioinformaticians has also evolved. The Association for Molecular Pathology's Clinical Bioinformatician Body of Knowledge aims to define the various roles the clinical bioinformatician operates individually or within a clinical bioinformatics team, along with proficiencies and skill sets that may be required or desirable across these roles. One of the most common professi...
