The development of computer systems in biology is hugely important for a vast array of fields and sub-fields ranging from translational medicine and comparative genomics to environmental science and structural biology. The development in recent decades of high throughput applications such as DNA sequencing has driven demand for powerful systems to organize complex biological data. Computational Biology covers a comprehensive range of themes and topics through three sections. The first section focuses on molecular and cellular experimental systems, and includes papers on next generation sequencing technology and in silico identification of plant-derived peptides. The second section considers bioinformatics and computer modelling, focusing more closely on data handling, processing and analysis. Topics include the use of the R language platform to handle biological data and an overview of informatics in analysing proteins. The third section chiefly comprises studies of the application of computational biology to specific problems, such as current applications in cancer diagnosis.
