| Comment | obviously there's a spectrum and some courses might be closer to molecular biology, and be more interesting to a biologist as a result. But bioinformatics is, at core, the abstract computational problem of pattern matching billion-character-long strings of A/C/G/T as fast as possible, which I (as a biology grad) personally found dull as dishwater once I realised that, and I think a lot of fellow biologists were similarly disillusioned with it as a field of study. Pays well though! |
