You don't have to be a bench research biologist, many of the developers here are not, but I'm pretty certain all do have a working understanding of molecular biology. insofar as how sequences "work".
You could acquire the required background just from reading a book like Lewin's "Genes" - it's how I started molecular biology from an engineering background.
