What should I choose between a thesis and a project for a master’s in bioinformatics?

[Koushik94]

I am right now at that point in my career where I need to choose whether I need to take a thesis or project to end my Master's degree. I want to enter into the Industry side of Bioinformatics and I want to ask the recruiters what mainly they look in the candidates when they hire a bioinformatics student the technical knowledge or the research

since the goal is industry a project maybe better. Thesis helps if you plan to progress into a PhD (iff you continue on the topic and same advisor).

Bummer I didn't see this when it was posted.  Complexgenome is correct.  If wanting to into industry then a project is the better choice, and I imagine your project would include a paper/report and presentation, anyways.  

Bioinformatics is a huge field with at least 10 major subfields under it, so trying to chose a project can be tricky.
