Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the application of computational and systems biology approaches to understand biological systems. Topics include the analysis of omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics), the development of computational models for biological networks and dynamics, and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence for biological data analysis, disease prediction, and treatment strategies. Studies also cover single-cell data analysis, medical image segmentation, and the investigation of molecular mechanisms in various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and infectious diseases.
