Do something that handles large datasets, but very little processing. With genome sequencing and analysis, the problem is the large amounts of data that have to be sorted and compared. So, there is very little “computing” being done, just a lot of shuffling of massive amounts of data. But, speed is important.

Subject: [DIYbio] Advice for a computer scientist who doesn't understand biology
Hi, I'm a third year computer science student from Gujarat, India. I have recently picked up synthetic biology as my seminar topic(a subject where you study about something that interests you throughout the semester). I picked this up as I smelled the future in it and because the concept sounded freakishly cool!
Now the problem is that I have experience only with high school biology and haven't touched any since the last 5 years. Where do I start and where should I aim to end by May 2013. Doing something practical is of the highest importance to me but I understand that it might not be feasible given my current knowledge and time so I would like some concrete advice.
