Computational Biology
Definition of Computational Biology as it relates to Science, Computer Science, Biology
Computational biology is a field that lies at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and biology. It leverages computational approaches to analyze and model biological systems, from individual genes to entire ecosystems. Researchers in this area use algorithms, machine learning, and data analysis techniques to make sense of large-scale biological datasets, such as those generated by genome sequencing or high-throughput experiments. By integrating insights from computer science and statistics with a deep understanding of biological principles, computational biology provides valuable tools for advancing our knowledge of living systems and addressing pressing challenges in areas such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation.
