  4. Maintain laboratory notebooks that record research methods, procedures, and results.
  5. Write grants and papers or attend fundraising events to seek research funds.
  6. Search scientific literature to select and modify methods and procedures most appropriate for genetic research goals.
  7. Review, approve, or interpret genetic laboratory results.
  8. Attend clinical and research conferences and read scientific literature to keep abreast of technological advances and current genetic research findings.
  9. Evaluate genetic data by performing appropriate mathematical or statistical calculations and analyses.
  10. Analyze determinants responsible for specific inherited traits, and devise methods for altering traits or producing new traits.
  11. Extract deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or perform diagnostic tests involving processes such as gel electrophoresis, Southern blot analysis, and polymerase chain reaction analysis.
  12. Evaluate, diagnose, or treat genetic diseases.
  13. Collaborate with biologists and other professionals to conduct appropriate genetic and biochemical analyses.
  14. Instruct medical students, graduate students, or others in methods or procedures for diagnosis and management of genetic disorders.
  15. Create or use statistical models for the analysis of genetic data.
  16. Maintain laboratory safety programs and train personnel in laboratory safety techniques.
  17. Verify that cytogenetic, molecular genetic, and related equipment and instrumentation is maintained in working condition to ensure accuracy and quality of experimental results.
  18. Develop protocols to improve existing genetic techniques or to incorporate new diagnostic procedures.
