There has always been a fight in genomics between bench-types and computational biologists. Traditionally molecular biology yielded very binary yes/no answers requiring little mathematical analysis -- even when I was in grad school in the 1990s, I had a professor say in all seriousness "If you need statistics to understand the results of your experiment, you did the wrong experiment". Things are changing and many of the current generation of grad students are becoming hybrid bench/computational biologists, which is a good thing.
