All biology is computational biology
نویسنده
چکیده
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 driven by mathematical, statistical, and computational methods being absorbed into mainstream biological training, turning biology into a quantitative science.

Genetic diversity study of Ethiopian hot pepper cultivars (Capsicum spp.) using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) marker
Hot pepper (Capsicum spp.) is an economically important spice widely cultivated and consumed in Ethiopia. In spite of its wide importance, there is no information available on the molecular genetic diversity of this crop. Cultivars characterization is an important link between the conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources in various breeding programs. Using five ISSR prim...
متن کاملDesign, Modeling and Computational Analysis of crRNA to Regulate MetastamiR-10b and MetastamiR-126 in Post-transcriptional Level by CRISPR-C2c2 (Cas13a) Technique
Introduction: Metastasis is one the most important causes of mortality in cancer patients. Recent studies have shown the metastatic potential of a specific group of microRNAs called metastamirs. miR-126 is shown to be correlated with the colorectal liver metastasis. Also, overexpression of miR-10b has been reported in metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, down regulation of these miRNAs at tra...

متن کاملStructural insights into the effects of charge-reversal substitutions at the surface of horseradish peroxidase
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), has gained significant interests in biotechnology, especially in biosensor field and diagnostic test kits. Hence, its solvent-exposed lysine residues 174, 232, and 241 have been frequently modified with the aim of improving its stability and catalytic efficiency. In this computational study, we investigated the effects of Lys-to-Glu substitutions on HRP structure t...
متن کاملChapter 1 Basics for Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics has become a hot research topic in recent years, a hot topic in several disciplines that were not so closely linked with biology previously. A side evidence of this is the fact that the 2007 Graduate Summer School on Bioinformatics of China had received more than 800 applications from graduate students from all over the nation and from a wide collection of disciplines in biologic...
