In this episode of our explainer podcasts, we’ve asked Jamie Ellingford, Lead Genome Data Scientist for Rare Disease at Genomics England, to explain what bioinformaticians do and how they're involved in the study of genomes, in less than 10 minutes.
You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel.
