In general, this workshop was both educational and enjoyable.

The participants were all

cooperative and willing to give their ideas. The speakers introduced us to the fundamentals of
bioinformatics, which I can apply to my future career. I now understand what bioinformatics is
and how to locate variants of interest using available databases on the internet. I've developed a
greater appreciation for the technology that underpins all of this. It is, in fact, beneficial to the
scientific community and is particularly helpful during epidemics/pandemics.
