Couple of things I know. Bioinformaticians come in two flavors. Those that studied biology and then took up coding and then the even rarer computer scientists who learned biology. The latter are so rare that they are almost all professors or founders or work at Deep Mind etc... Then, there are the biomedical engineers, etc... The computer scientists will go off a solve protein folding when the bioinformaticians and chemists worked on it for years.. I am exaggerating a little here, I imagine there were plenty of bioinformaticians on the Alpha Fold team, but the fundamental breakthrough was DNNs.
