Drug repurposing and screening for Sars-Cov-2 proteins

it depends on your field of study, as bioinformatics and computational biology are useful for many study areas.

Vaccine informatics, systems biology studies on neuro-degenerative diseases Maninee Shrivastava

Reverse Vaccinology

There are many updated fields in bioinformatics such as NGS, single cell, Deep learning and etc, it depends on your goal study.

my opinion fro you is to focus toward the genomics analysis of SARS-Cov2, mutational analysis in SARS-COV2 ,drug designing or pathways analysis

Drug design especially in the case of COVID-19

Single cell RNA-seq or multiomics data analysis is definitely a hot area from genomics point of view

transcriptomic study ,metabolic pathway identification

I would add epigenetics and microRNA in their roles to human diseases.

Artificial intelligence in clinical and genomic diagnostics

pan-genomics？

AI-ML-DL in structure prediction and analysis

It is always advisable to reach beyond our own specialization to be capable to put research into a wider frame withing the whole science. We know that there are always occurring emerging fields within science. It is the same within the theory of computation. This is why you might be interested about this answer.

Those who are interested about the very principles that are utilized in biological system to evaluate, compute, and make decisions can benefit from the knowledge of massive-parallel computations, which are omnipresent within biological systems.

When you want to immerse yourself into the core methodologies of bio-computation that actually operate within living cells, you might be interested about this paper and animations related to it [1].

Just one animation that can curb your appetite is attached. There you can observe the appearance of an emergent structure from random initial conditions while employing a modified cellular automaton called the 'Game of Life', which is proven to be Turing machine equivalent. In simple words, in the GoL, it is possible to design AND, OR, and NOT logic gates and assembly a processor unit along with a memory. In other words, a brand-new computer, see links in [1].

Currently, explored systems with modified neighborhood and the same rule as used in GoL can be observed in this video:

An advanced & improved version enabling loading and saving topologies is being finalized, stay connected and follow it when interested.
