Give a specific example that proves your experience level, awareness, and understanding of how it relates to the position you're interviewing for.

"When studying gene expression in tumor samples, I utilized the GenePattern software to determine which genes were highly expressed in patient tumor samples. The data was visualized using the HeatMapViewer tool within the software. The metadata for the samples was kept in an Excel spreadsheet along with summary results. This analysis led to further investigations based on the genes that were likely biomarkers."
