Forum:Unsolved Topics in Bioinformatics

Question

[BioICoder]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to work on bioinformatics related projects and hopefully can proceed in publishing the work. Now, the problem that I'm facing is trying to figure out what are the unsolved topics or topics that still very hot in bioinformatics that are not yet solved that I can contribute to? I would really appreciate it if you point me to the right directions or any source that can help me with the latest topics that are in trends in bioinformatics?

I appreciate any of your feedback and input in advance

Best

You may be approaching this in entirely the wrong way...

If you want to understand what is needed in a particular field, first you have to understand that field, i.e., first understand what has already been done

Create an aligner that works well for 50bp to 500kb reads. Fair warning: You would be competing with Heng Li (Minimap2).
