Keith Bradnam – Manchester University Bioinformatics Masters alum, asked me to answer some questions for his popular nerdy blog http://www.acgt.me. You can read my replies here. For some reason, maybe the fact that it was the first course in the UK to bring bioinformatics students together, there is a lively community of ex students, spanning 20 odd years. Credit goes to Dr Andy Brass for seeing the need before anyone else.
