Introduction
Bioinformatics is a bridge science connecting biology, medicine, computer science, data science, statistics, and many more. It touches upon all areas of biomedical research, and beyond data processing, analysis, and integration, the field is also concerned with data sharing, privacy protection, and the impact of modern machine-learning approaches. As a PhD student engaging with bioinformatics on any level, it is important to learn how to navigate the vast amount of literature available and how to dissect papers. In this journal club, we will cover a wide array of different topics. We will address general scientific questions and consider the latest advances and emerging fields, balanced with general research questions about bioinformatics. The target audience is PhD students who either work in bioinformatics or apply it regularly.
