How would one go about meaningfully contributing to solving problems in genetics without having done the work leading to a MD or PhD (or both)?

I'm not sure if you would consider this meaningful, but if you have software development skills, either developing applications that can be used to solve problems in genetics, or that save the time of those working on solving those problems.
