Where a bioinformatics scientist can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a bioinformatics scientist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Bioinformatics scientists analyse biological processes using computer programmes. They maintain or construct databases containing biological information. Bioinformatics scientists gather and analyse biological data and may also assist scientists in various fields, including in biotechnology and pharmaceutics. They perform scientific research and statistical analyses, and report on their findings. Bioinformatics scientists may also collect DNA samples, discover data patterns and conduct genetic research.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a bioinformatics scientist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
