Bioinformatics topics that fascinate me
From Carls wiki
In order to find out what I would like to do in the future, I thought I'd make a list of all the topics in Biology and Bioinformatics that I find fascinating.
- Protein folding. It's so easy for Nature, so time-consuming for us. Why?
- The genetic code, why does it look like it actually does?
- DNA methylation. What's the secret?
- Evolution, especially models of it.
- DNA sequencing. I want to sequence my own genome eventually.
- Artificial life and genetic algorithms. Making Vienna II a reality would be cool...
- Abiogenesis; how did Life on Earth get started?
- Genetic engineering; great opportunities, great dangers.
- Synthetic biology, I mean... wow!
- Search algorithms. The things you find in Gusfield.
