Try to understand the basics of this wide and complex field

Introduction

I should first clarify what I mean by bioinformatics. For me, the following terms describe very similar if not identical fields: “Bioinformatics”, “computational genomics” and “genomic data science”. Although there will be attempts to differentiate these terms, they represent similar things for me. The fields require you to process and analyze large-scale genomics datasets and come up with biological insights.
