You should watch iBioSeminars (www.ibioseminars.org) to become familiar with biology research. These are free online talks given by leading scientists. They contain a general intro to a topic and then go into the research behind it. Here are links to two genomics lectures: David Botstein (Princeton): http://www.ibioseminars.org/lectures/cell-bio-a-med/david-botstein.html http://www.ibioseminars.org/lectures/cell-bio-a-med/david-bo... and Jonathan Weissman (UCSF): http://ibioseminars.org/lectures/bio-techniques/jonathan-weissman.html http://ibioseminars.org/lectures/bio-techniques/jonathan-wei... Good luck!
