What is a genome/DNA and why is it important to know? 

DNA are the genetic instructions that determine how our body grows and it is important to understand them because it will help us gain insight on why and how some diseases develop.

Does CS have a significant role to play in studying why we are tall, organized, athletic, or healthy? 

Because CS automates tasks at incredible speeds, it allows us to process large amounts of data regarding genomes in a faster manner using AI technologies and more.

What are some of the important questions in biology and medicine that can be addressed with computer science?

Questions may involve the relations and patterns between large data sets containing genomes and the genome of affected individuals, and CS can be implemented to find these patterns.

Is it enough to study humans and the human genome?

I believe it is also important to study other animals that have certain properties like slow aging as that could help us.

Is the industry interested in computational biology, or is it largely academic research? 

Many pharmaceutical companies take advantage of computational biology to create new medicines more efficiently than ever before.
