DNA manipulation would be orders of magnitude more difficult and time consuming with out computers as would anything involving chemistry, molecular biology and understanding genetic structure.
Apps and programming/automation have everything to do with the future of the field, its not just test tubes.
- jostmey 14y agoTrue, but from what I've seen biologist for the most part can get along just fine with only a basic knowledge of REGEX and spreadsheet software. The biologist I've worked with tend to be a resourceful bunch, capable of solving difficult problems with simple tools. EDIT: Granted, there is a growing need for data-scientist who can help sort through mountains of data for relevant information. But I don't think there is much need for pre-built software solutions. Each lab faces unique problems, and their software development needs, if any, are unique.
