Article/Chapter Title: Role of bioinformatics in molecular medicine
Abstract: The increased clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to widespread application of bioinformatics approaches for data analytics. Laboratories have largely adopted custom solution implementations of various analysis steps that are tied together and referred to as a bioinformatics workflow or pipeline. This chapter discusses the high-level approaches that have become the standard for clinical bioinformatics, including details on the file structure, conceptualizing the algorithmic processes, and regulatory considerations. We also discuss some of the tools that are becoming more commonly implemented and are likely to become standard components of many laboratories. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
