Bioinformatics Jobs: How to Succeed in This Competitive Space

XTalks

The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Since the conclusion of the project in 2003, bioinformatics tools have been used to identify genes and elucidate their function with the aim of developing gene-based strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
