Bioinformatics is like woodworking

Using The Right Tools Helps A Lot

a: Bioinformatics ~

b: woodworking

What: "As for how to get started, pick up a textbook and start learning the biology that motivates bioinformatics and the algorithms and tools for doing things. Try things that look interesting, apply examples on new genes and new genomes. A lot of bioinformatics is like woodworking-- fairly well-established tools and procedures but a world of genomes to work on."

Useful?
