AI can get you up to speed fast and suggest where to look, but you need to confirm findings against real sources, records or people.
Part of Research biological or ecological phenomena, under the O*NET work activity group Getting Information. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (1 AI-ready, 11 AI-assist, 0 stays human).
Tasks built on this activity
- Compile data for use in activities, such as gene expression profiling, genome annotation, or structural bioinformatics.
- Plan or conduct basic genomic and biological research related to areas such as regulation of gene expression, protein interactions, metabolic networks, and nucleic acid or protein complexes.
- Evaluate genetic data by performing appropriate mathematical or statistical calculations and analyses.
- Study characteristics of animals, such as origin, interrelationships, classification, life histories, diseases, development, genetics, and distribution.
- Analyze determinants responsible for specific inherited traits, and devise methods for altering traits or producing new traits.
- Create or use statistical models for the analysis of genetic data.
- Prepare summary statistics of information regarding human genomes.
- Research how characteristics of plants or animals are carried through successive generations.
- Design sampling plans or coordinate the field collection of samples such as tissue specimens.
- Investigate the nature, composition, or expression of genes or research how genetic engineering can impact these processes.
- Conduct family medical studies to evaluate the genetic basis for traits or diseases.
- Determine genetic composition of animal populations and heritability of traits, using principles of genetics.
