Women are underrepresented in computational biology: An analysis of the scholarly literature in biology, computer science and computational biology
While women are generally underrepresented in STEM fields, there are noticeable differences between fields. For instance, the gender ratio in biology is more balanced than in computer science. We were interested in how this difference is reflected in the interdisciplinary field of computational/quantitative biology. To this end, we examined the proportion of female authors in publications from ...
متن کاملAll biology is computational biology
Here, I argue that computational thinking and techniques are so central to the quest of understanding life that today all biology is computational biology. Computational biology brings order into our understanding of life, it makes biological concepts rigorous and testable, and it provides a reference map that holds together individual insights. The next modern synthesis in biology will be driv...

A pair in a string is the occurrence of the same substring twice. A pair is maximal if the two occurrences of the substring cannot be extended to the left and right without making them different. The gap of a pair is the number of characters between the two occurrences of the substring. In this paper we present methods for finding all maximal pairs under various constraints on the gap. In a str...

متن کاملComputational Thinking in Biology
The paper presents a new approach based on process calculi to systems modeling suitable for biological systems. The main characteristic of process calculi is a linguistic description level to define incrementally and compositionally executable models. The formalism is suitable to be exploited on the same system at different levels of abstractions connected through well defined formal rules. The...
