This is bioinformatics, the computational power needed to decifer the human genome, and what I am going ot apply to Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle to study. The USA and Canada are out at the moment, as I would require previous study of biology to go there, but in the UK I do not need to have studied it before. It comes from the differences between undergraduate degrees in the UK and USA, in USA you study 2 years (?) of general studies before you major in something. So those who want to do Bioinformataics in the States, would have taken some biology beforehand probably.EducationGuardian.co.uk | Research | Cambridge completes 2bn-letter dictionary of DNA
