Clinical Variant Analyst information
What is a clinical variant analyst?
A Clinical Variant Analyst is a professional who interprets and analyzes genetic variants identified through clinical genetic testing. Their main role is to evaluate DNA sequence changes to determine their significance in relation to health and disease. They collaborate with geneticists, laboratory scientists, and clinicians to classify variants according to established guidelines and help inform patient diagnoses and management. Additionally, Clinical Variant Analysts review scientific literature, use databases, and may contribute to research and quality improvement in genetic testing.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a clinical variant analyst, and why are they important?
To thrive as a Clinical Variant Analyst, you need a strong background in genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, typically supported by a relevant degree such as in genetics or molecular biology. Familiarity with next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, variant interpretation databases (like ClinVar), and clinical reporting software is commonly required, along with certifications such as ACMG variant interpretation training. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are vital soft skills for accurately interpreting genetic data and collaborating with clinical teams. These skills ensure accurate variant classification and reporting, directly impacting patient diagnosis and care.
What are some common challenges clinical variant analysts face when interpreting genetic data, and how can they be addressed?
Clinical Variant Analysts often encounter challenges such as distinguishing between benign and pathogenic variants, managing large datasets, and keeping up with rapidly evolving scientific literature. Addressing these challenges requires strong analytical skills, familiarity with bioinformatics tools, and ongoing collaboration with genetic counselors, laboratory directors, and clinicians. Staying current through continuous education and attending case discussions or multidisciplinary meetings also helps analysts provide accurate and clinically relevant interpretations.

Job description
We are seeking a highly motivated next generation sequencing (NGS) data analytic scientist to support Oncology Assay Development at Quest. As a member of the Oncology R&D team, this role will collaborate with other scientists and staff from cross-functional teams to develop, validate, and support cutting-edge genomic assays for oncology applications.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in bioinformatics and/or genomic data analysis for somatic applications, translating complex data into actionable insights that drive product development, operational excellence and clinical impact.
This professional will work in a hybrid capacity requiring 3 days onsite at our Lewisville, TX facility.
Responsibilities
- Perform bioinformatic analysis of genomics data from next generation sequencing. Specific data types include whole exome sequencing (WES), whole exome sequencing (WGS), and targeted DNA and RNA panel datasets generated from Illumina, Ion Torrent and PacBio sequencing technologies.
- Curate, analyze, and interpret complex genomics datasets to support assay development, validation, and high throughput implementation
- Present findings to drive decision-making in R&D product development, troubleshooting, and pipeline improvement
- Design, develop, and deploy scalable and robust bioinformatics pipelines to support analytical validation data analysis for new oncology products
- Partner with R&D, automation, laboratory operations, and software teams to understand and address the technical challenges and implement efficient solutions
- Support production day-to-day operations, quickly pivoting focus to respond to incidents and requests
- Monitor, execute, and improve sequence analysis workflows and automation
- Produce charts and visualization for dashboards, reporting, and in support of data driven hypothesis testing
- Track, troubleshoot and mitigate issues encountered in processing production samples to meet strict Turnaround Times (TAT)
- Contribute to continuous improvement of analytical methods, workflows, and data quality standards
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a history of using bioinformatic technical skills to deliver accurate and timely results.
Required Work Experience:
- Requires at least 4 (four) years of relevant industrial experience in data science and/or bioinformatics role
- Master's degree, or a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, chemistry, physics, statistics, or a related field
- Experience with oncology genomics and somatic variant analysis
Preferred Work Experience:
- Experience in NGS workflow development
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and communicate experimental results
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, Cross-functional environment.
- Experience with Software Development Life Cycle documentation procedure
- Familiarity with assay validation, regulatory environment (CAP/CLIA), or clinical diagnostics
Skills:
- Experience using scripting languages (Python, R, or similar) for scientific data analysis and visualization
- Strong proficiency in NGS data processing, QC, and interpretation
- Experience with analysis of next-generation sequencing data, preferably including Whole-Genome Sequencing, Variant calling, and Annotation
- Excellent communication skills and the desire to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment
