1.What is a genome/DNA and why is it important to know? 
A genome is an organism's complete set of genetic information. It contains all of the information that the organism needs to function. The genome is stored in long molecules of DNA called chromosomes in living organisms. It's important to know because so that people will be able to develop better diagnostics, more effective therapeutic strategies, evidence-based approaches for demonstrating clinical efficacy, and better decision-making tools for patients.

2. Does CS have a significant role to play in studying why we are tall, organized, athletic, or healthy? 
Yes, computers can analyze the genetics of organisms to determine the most likely evolutionary relationships, and they can also synthesize massive amounts of genetic data.

3. What are some of the important questions in biology and medicine that can be addressed with computer science?
Some important questions include the function of certain genes and the growth of cells or diseases through computer simulations.

4.Is it enough to study humans and the human genome?
Certainly not, it's also important to study the genome of others such as bacteria and viruses. By understanding their genetic makeup, we can more easily cure or prevent diseases.

5.Is the industry interested in computational biology, or is it largely academic research? 
Computational biology is actually quite needed in the industry for it's application in drug development and many other fields. It is certainly not just academic research.
