• What is a genome/DNA and why is it important to know? DNA are the genetic instructions that determine how the human body functions. It is important to understand them as they offer significant insight on why and how some diseases develop.
• Does CS have a significant role to play in studying why we are tall, organized, athletic, or healthy? CS automates tasks at incredible speeds and low costs, thus allowing to process large amounts of data genomes in a faster manner using AI technologies and more.
• What are some of the important questions in biology and medicine that can be addressed with computer science? Questions may involve the relations and patterns between large data sets containing genomes and the genome of affected individuals, and CS can be implemented to find these patterns.
• Is it enough to study humans and the human genome? I believe it is also important to study other entities, as the power of Computational Biology exceeds the human body.
• Is the industry interested in computational biology, or is it largely academic research?  Many pharmaceutical companies take advantage of computational biology to create new medicines at lower costs and faster speeds than ever before.
