Hey
Are (were) you a bioinf PhD student? Anyone have experience applying to programs in the field? I'm an undergrad bioinf major doing some work on genetics, writing some programs to find best-fit evolutionary rate models (dn/ds) for a given tree using maximum likelihood. I find that pretty much all my time is spent programming. In my lab I don't really do any bench work because the sequencing is done elsewhere, but I was wondering in general do most bioinformaticians in academic research do primarily programming or a combination of wet/dry lab work? What's a typical day/week in your research like?
Thanks!
