Role Description
**Area of Responsibility**
**Data Curation for New Traits**
Curate scientific evidence for traits planned in the new / upcoming panel. This will include deep-diving into genes, variants, SNPs, biological pathways, and phenotype associations.
**Literature Review**
Identify and summarize relevant publications, PubMed references, GWAS studies, clinical studies, meta-analyses, and population-level evidence supporting each gene–variant–trait association.
**Variant-Level Curation**
Document SNP details such as rsID, gene, chromosome position, risk allele, genotype interpretation, effect direction, strength of evidence, and population relevance where available.
**Trait Model Development**
Support creation of reporting models where multiple SNPs contribute to one trait outcome. This includes defining genotype combinations, scoring logic, weighted models, risk categories, and interpretation rules.
**Reporting Backend Content**
Create structured backend-ready content for report generation, including trait summaries, genotype-based interpretation lines, recommendation text, risk category explanations, and doctor/client-friendly descriptions.
**Evidence Grading**
Help classify evidence strength for each trait or SNP as high, moderate, exploratory, or insufficient based on publication quality, reproducibility, population data, and biological relevance.
**Data Organization**
Maintain curated information in Excel/CSV/Google Sheets or structured templates that can be directly used by product, bioinformatics, and reporting teams.
**Cross-Panel Comparison**
Compare selected SNPs and traits with existing commercial panels, public databases, and scientific resources to ensure panel relevance and competitiveness.
**Quality Check of Content**
Review trait descriptions and recommendations for scientific accuracy, clarity, consistency, and suitability for consumer or clinician-facing reports.
**Backend Mapping Support**
Assist in mapping SNPs, genotypes, risk categories, and recommendation lines into formats that can be integrated into automated report generation workflows.
