Computational Biologist Interview Questions

I can not disclose the detailed questions as I signed the nondisclosure agreement. All the questions are in a way "designed" to learn about your thought process and your understanding concepts and your knowledge of math/statistics. .

What do you think it is a good day?

Worked through an example of Bayesian logic.

How would you check that a string that included parentheses and open brackets had a complete set of open/close characters?

Why do you want to switch fields? I got several software-related questions.

Tell me about your research interests.

many questions about DNA matching and statistical inference and about computational complexity of different algorithms. You have to know your core computer science to answer them.

Don't remember the details but there was some maths/ stats question that cost me a bit of time to grasp but it is more about keep calm and communicative rather than be able to give the right answer straight away.
