Computational Biology has gained significant importance in genome mapping and R&D applications in bioinformatics and neuroscience
Computational biology refers to the combination of computer science, mathematics, and biology to solve biological problems. The field is broad, with applications in a variety of scientific disciplines. It is used to design and develop complex biological software and hardware. Computational biology covers a vast array of biology subjects, including molecular biology, physiology, genetics, zoology, botany, and immunology. Computational biology can be applied to a wide variety of problems, ranging from developing new drugs to sequencing a genome. Computational biology is related to the field of computer sciences. There are many areas of overlap, including programming languages (such as C++ and Java), databases, hardware, and algorithms that are used in the analysis of biological data. Computational systems biology is concerned with the development of computer programs that solve biological problems. Computational genomics creates applications to study the effects of genetic modif...
