This only shows how ignorant on bioinformatic analyses is whoever listed two items on the left. Without effort, I can say... git, bash, python, R-lang, alignment algorithms, UMAP, clustering algorithms, snakemake, nextflow, slurm, amazon web services, google cloud platform, conda, heuristics, more algorithms, deep learning, machine learning, imputing missing values, frequentist statistics, parametric or not, bayesian statistics, mmm.. Ok, point given.
Oh, and just to be clear. The whole idea of separating the two fields is plain wrong. There's a lot of workers that do both. And, if there's any worker that only does 1 discipline, it's likely working in a team with at least 1 person doing the other...
Where do I get a job in bioinformatics? Now that AI hype is on the way out (and I missed it) my best guess is that it will be the next big thing. And unlike LLMs it's actually interesting.

good luck aligning 50 x 20mil sequences in a 10 year old laptop

So... A single computer.

What data are you going to bioinform yourself on, bioinformist?

Largely with research universities. Also trying to on pursuing a career in that
Is the picture on the right genuine? Asking seriously.
No, very much no
Too bad, I like the style
No it is not.
😭
Can relate
