Thank you very much! This was a very rich and personal podcast on UA-cam! I have been having doubts and confusion to where to start bioinformatics and how to change from biotechnology to bioinformatics career. I think i have found the right channel for me!!❤

Thank you for your kind words regarding your journey in Bioinformatics. I hold a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Breeding, and presently, I am keenly interested in Bioinformatics, actively pursuing online courses to enhance my skills in NGS data analysis. Your interview has instilled confidence and inspiration in me. Once again, thank you sir for your motivational speech.

Very helpful and resourceful.
I have some basic experience about genomics as well as some background knowledge in UNIX commands, R and Python. I also have a master's degree in molecular biology. Do you think that is enough to apply for a PhD in Biofomatics in the US?
Thank you

[@chatomics]

There are many factors to determine it. Just try it and apply. You only know if you try it

[@shixiangwang]

Learned a lot. :)
