Myers received his Bachelor of Science in mathematics from the California Institute of Technology and a Doctor of Philosophy in computer science from the University of Colorado.
Myers' 1990 paper (with Stephen Altschul and others ) describing BLAST has received over 62,000+ citations making it amongst the most highly cited papers ever.
Along with Udi Manber, Myers invented the suffix array data structure.
Myers was a member of the faculty of the University of Arizona, the Vice President of Informatics Research at Celera Genomics, and a member of the faculty at UC Berkeley.
At Celera Genomics, Myers was involved in the sequencing of the human genome, as well as the genomes of Drosophila and mouse.
In particular, Myers advocated the use of the whole genome shotgun sequencing technique.
Later, he became group leader at the Janelia Farm Research Campus (JFRC) of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Myers was voted the most influential in bioinformatics in 2001 by Genome Technology Magazine and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2003.
