Forum: Need suggestion / roadmaps for bio informatics as a Computer science student

Hi everyone, I am a 4th-year Computer Science student looking to enter bioinformatics. I have a strong background in algorithms, data structures, and Python, but zero formal background in biology.

I am looking for a roadmap that focuses on the engineering, algorithmic, and computational challenges of the field ) rather than deep molecular biology theory. What open-source resources or papers or roadmap would you recommend for a CS major to get up to speed up?

roadmap tutorial advice help

but zero formal background in biology.

If you are serious about continuing with bioinformatics then you should consider enrolling in a graduate program with a computational biology/bioinformatics focus. At least start talking with someone who works in one of these areas to get ideas.

Biostars has a number of contributors who would fall in the category above and you will likely get additional answers/comments soon.
