Bioinformatics and Software Core

Summary

September 23, 2026

AMP published a collection of papers in 2025 outlining essential bioinformatics roles, responsibilities and competencies for professionals in clinical molecular diagnostic laboratories. The collection, titled “Clinical Bioinformatician Body of Knowledge: A Report of the Association for Molecular Pathology,” is freely available in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. The steering committee for the project has now launched a series of broadcasts about their findings and conclusions reported in the collection.

The broadcast will focus on the paper "Bioinformatics and Software Core," which provides a detailed look at the stages of a clinical bioinformatics pipeline, including associated skill sets and domain-specific expertise required throughout the process.
