"Analysis".
There is a difference between meaningful analysis which answers long standing questions of biology, and running a program which calls SNPs and spits out genome stats.
The hard part is knowing what questions to ask, and how to interpret the answers when you get them. That takes years of training to develop a critical mind.
- rcthompson 11y agoThis is absolutely true. I've done differential expression analysis on many RNA-seq and microarray datasets, and despite the fact that the basic pipeline for such analysis is quite straightforward and easily automated, every analysis is asking different biological questions and has different confounding factors that need to be addressed, so the analysis of each dataset ends up being quite different from all the others.
