> But is there still algorithmic low hanging fruit? Algorithmic bioinformatics has become a separate research field, because there are so many low-hanging fruit. Biotech companies create new instruments producing new kinds of data, researchers find new uses for the data, and new algorithmic problems emerge all the time. There is also a steady migration of people from theoretical computer science to bioinformatics, because it's often easier to get research funding for something bioinformatics-related than for pure CS.
