Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application of computational and artificial intelligence methods to biological and biomedical research. Key areas include the development and application of machine learning, deep learning, and large language models for analyzing omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics), predicting molecular and protein structures and functions, and understanding complex biological processes. The journal also covers bioinformatics resources, computational drug discovery, and the integration of diverse data types for disease research and biomarker identification.
