Bioinformatics
A section of Biology (ISSN 2079-7737).
Section Information
The Bioinformatics section of the journal Biology focuses on publishing manuscripts that describe new bioinformatics tools and methods. These tools and methods should enable breakthroughs across a wide range of biology-relevant fields, such as microbiology, cell and molecular biology, genomics, genetics, development, evolutionary biology, ecology, and plant science.
In addition to publishing descriptions of new bioinformatics tools and methods, the Bioinformatics section also welcomes original research articles that utilize bioinformatics and computational analysis of biological data. Such articles should lead to novel and impactful insights that are of significance to all biologists, regardless of their specific sub-discipline.
The overall aim of the Bioinformatics section is to support the publication of research that advances the field of bioinformatics and demonstrates its potential to drive discoveries and generate new understanding across the broad spectrum of biology.
There is no restriction on the types of organisms or biological disciplines featured.
