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. Pay: ₹15,000\.00 - ₹25,000\.00 per month Work Location: Hybrid remote in Nagavara, Bengaluru, Karnataka
