Computational biology involves the development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems.

Description

The field is broadly defined and includes foundations in computer science, applied mathematics, animation, statistics, biochemistry, chemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, ecology, evolution, anatomy, neuroscience, and visualization.

Bioinformatics

Computational biology is similar to bioinformatics, which is an interdisciplinary science using computers to store and process biological data.

Biological computation

Computational biology is different from biological computation, which is a subfield of computer science and computer engineering using bioengineering and biology to build computers.
