I strongly agree. There's a common belief that bioinformatics is all about running premade code and the paper comes out.
Bioinformaticians do ask questions, do formulate hypotheses, do make and test their predictions, and do accept or reject their hypotheses. They are as much experimentalists as any other person involved with any other science field. Stop making this distinction, it is plain wrong.

We found that there's not a unique variable/trait determining genome size in prokaryotes, but it's rather a complex combination of factors and overall where you are in the Tree of Life. It was really fun having all these discussions with my advisor!!

Interestingly, we found that the diversification of the most prevalent marine microbial clades is associated with changes in the redox state of the atmosphere and the ocean across Earth's history, and the interaction with other organisms.

We found that there's not a singular driver for this trait, but rather genome size is a complex feature that in prokaryotes likely depends on different things depending on the lineage.

And OVERALL! We found a strong phylogenetic signal that overestimated the effect of one of the variables tested. Thus, test for phylogenetic signal when analyzing the evolution of genome size!! (Actually any time you use species as data points 🥰).
