I studied Biochemistry/Comp Sci and the foundational biochmeistry book imo is the Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry. It goes over the basic biochemistry and once you understand that things just start to “Make sense. Once you have those basics you can read the wikipedia article and things start to click.

On the other hand, as a person who’s worked on sequencing software I’ve found the biochemistry knowledge to only be incidentally useful - though I may be underestimating some of the “basic” assumptions that were used day to day.
