As a molecular biologist / genomics PI, these examples read fine to me. It's meant as an introduction, not a compendium of every possible nuance.

I had a software engineer do a bioinformatics PhD in my group several years ago, and I wish this had existed to show him. It would have saved all of us a lot of time, and him a lot of angst and confusion.

I used to think it would be the other way around, but having supervised grad students from both sides of the divide, I can say with some certainty that it's easier (in general) to teach molecular biology majors coding, than it is to teach software engineers cloning.

(There are exceptions of course, both ways.)

The reality is that to succeed in this field now, you need both sets of skills.
