Computational Biology notes

What is genome? why is it important?

Complete set of genetic information, if we study it we can pinpoint which genes cause certain diseases

Does CS have a significant role to play in studying why we are tall, organized, athletic, or healthy?

yes

What are some of the important questions in biology and medicine that can be addressed with computer science?

Structure of protein, which genes for e.g. cause congenital heart failure in babies

Is it enough to study humans and the human genome?

No, need to study other life forms to create a better undersstanding of biology

Is the industry interested in computational biology, or is it largely academic research?

It is interested in computational biology since it might cure incurable diseases
