Computational Biology

1. A genome is all of the genetic material of an organism. Its important to know because a genome is what determines the biological makeup of humans, and the answer to a lot of questions we have about diseases or just the phenotype of someone is due to certain genes or mutations that occur in the genome. - Wikipedia

2. I think CS makes a lot of the gathering of information and studying of such factors easier and quicker to do

3. Major uses of computers in medicine include hospital information system, data analysis in medicine, medical imaging laboratory computing, computer assisted medical decision making, care of critically ill patients, computer assisted therapy and so on. - NIH

4.I think its also important to study how such genes interact in other organisms and cases rather than only in humans

5. I think computational biology is a larger part of the industry currently. Computational biology is computational biology, a branch of biology involving the application of computers and computer science to the understanding and modeling of the structures and processes of life, which i think is becoming increasinly more useful these days - Britannica
