In agreement with the proposed minimum skill set, the authors recognized bioinformatics as a strongly multi-disciplinary field where fundamentals in biology, mathematics and computer science are critical.
In general, the basic bioinformatics curriculum they described, at both the undergraduate and master's level, fit the scope of the proposed minimum skill set, imparting students with essential knowledge and principles in the relevant fields of biology, mathematics and computer science.
The proposed bioinformatics minimum skill set serves as a guideline for biology curriculum design and development in universities at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The minimum skill set proposed is cross-disciplinary in nature, involving a combination of knowledge and proficiency from the fields of biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics, and can be tailored to the needs of the "-omics".
Based on a curriculum covering the minimum skill set proposed, an undergraduate life science student, in addition to being well-versed with biological research techniques, should gain exposure to most components in the skill set, accompanied with a limited small-scale application and integration of a few selected bioinformatics tools and techniques to a research project.
"I'm not proposing this," Cashman was careful to state first, "but his skill set, his athleticism, is like a Robin Yount".
Additionally, the increasing role of General Practitioners in commissioning of healthcare proposed in the UK's Health and Social Care Bill [ 24] means that the changing skill set required of doctors is not just in global health.
A skill set for the next generation of medical physicists in nuclear medicine is proposed in the context of the increasing complexity of 'Molecular Imaging' in the next three decades.
