Competency information

Details

Follow standard protocols or agreed procedures for sequence annotation and analysis.

Considerations

  • How to locate and follow local
  • How to identify applicable standard protocols for analysis made available through professional genetics
  • How to identify standards within the hospital
  • Ethical issues associated with patient
  • Clinical and information technology (IT) governance rules for analysis of patient data.

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 1 Outcome Perform analysis on DNA data and protein sequence data to infer function.
# 2 Outcome Perform sequence alignment tasks. 
# 3 Outcome Select and apply appropriate bioinformatic tools and resources from a core subset to typical diagnostic laboratory cases, contextualised to the scope and practice of a clinical genetics laboratory. 
# 4 Outcome Compare major bioinformatics resources for clinical diagnostics and how their results can be summarised and integrated with other lines of evidence to produce clinically valid reports.
# 5 Outcome Interpret evidence from bioinformatic tools and resources and integrate this into the sum of genetic information for the interpretation and reporting of test results from patients.
# 6 Outcome Perform the recording of building or version numbers of resources used on a given date, including those of linked data sources, and understand the clinical relevance of this data.
