嗯,你别愁!
我脚的你这倆年的经历是非常好地!
第一,你知道拉很多实验的细节,而且有hands on经验,这是一个computation biologist
or bioinformatician提高水平所需要的.
第二,咱中国人就是聪明,这是物拥质疑地,所以,积累经验,两年差不多,甭说你do
computer,就四你do nuclear physics,有拉这俩年的磕磕碰碰,你都行.

至于computer class and programming 嘛,别怕,你又不是专门做computer science 的,
不需要深,偶的经例是,一个学期拿五门课: java, c++, database, Unix, data
structure and algorithm, all graduate level, but if you are to do computation
more, don't learn java first, learn c++, and perl/python.

you need to master 1 language first, then others can be done with a reference
book easily. Also, don't stick to computer sciences too deep, because your
goal is to answer biology questions. As long as you can solve the problem,笨办
法也行.

Also, once you have ideas about OS, programming and DB, try to use exsiting
tools, one of the professor(chinese) said a useful mark: "essentially for
everything you want to do, there is already someone develop a tool out there,
you just need to put them together and use them to answer your questions"

Add oil! 我大学的一个哥门儿说过一句话, 牛:"本科毕业以后,你应该有这个信心,就是
你想学什么,就可以学的到,没有什么非需要避而别人教的拉!"

add oil again!
