Bioinformatics is a broad field where we aim to extract some knowledge from biological data. Now, the research work will depend upon your areas of interest. There can be computational research in bioinformatics using Image Processing, Computer Vision, Deep Learning and in many such areas. As of now, you can begin with reading about some existing research papers. That will give you an idea about what you are going to do and then you can follow any of the fields. My current research involves Image Processing and Computer Vision. Feel free to ask questions.
Yeah very good question. I was also finding this answer during 3rd year of Engineering in Biotechnology while I'm also one of the guy who wants to further want to research in this field. To find this answer I've started to work under a scientist in government research institute but I find out they are lagging behind the technology and there work is not like a developer thing they just use tools to do all the things. I got disappointed by this . Then when I was in final year of my engineering I was able to clear GSOC for Open Bioinformatic Foundation. I saw and worked with some of the best open source guys who are working on bioinformatics. So I learn some of the things which will clear your doubts:
PS: All the best for it btw I've applied for endless bioinformatics job but they didn't consider you, if you just having bachelor's degree. So it's better to do Masters and then do research work of your field of interest with PhD.
Thank you for your answers @prithaupadhyay @evoxtorm :) Closing this issue now!

" I learnt some industrial experience by doing an internship. I wish to go for research work in bioinformatics and wish to get a job in same but I have no ideas what all skills should I learn, whom to approach. "
