This question is asked to gauge your hands-on experience and understanding of bioinformatics tools, which are crucial in biotechnological research and development. When answering, highlight specific tools and software you have used, such as BLAST, ClustalW, or Bioconductor. Provide examples of projects or tasks where you applied these tools, emphasizing the outcomes and your role. For instance, you might say, 'In my previous role, I used BLAST for sequence alignment to identify gene variants associated with disease resistance in crops. This helped in developing a new strain with improved resistance.' Tailor your response to reflect the tools mentioned in the job description or those commonly used in the field of biotechnology. Demonstrating your ability to effectively use these tools will show that you are well-prepared for the technical demands of the role.
