Computational biology refers to the use of data analysis, mathematical modeling and computational simulations to understand biological systems and relationships. [1] An intersection of computer science, biology, and big data, the field also has foundations in applied mathematics, chemistry, and genetics. [2]
Biological computing. Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations . The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology. The term nanobiotechnology can be defined in multiple ways; in a more general sense ...
Bioinformatics uses biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, computer programming, information engineering, mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. The subsequent process of analyzing and interpreting data is referred to as computational biology.
Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology -based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach ( holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research. [1 ...
A biological computer refers to an engineered biological system that can perform computer-like operations, which is a dominant paradigm in synthetic biology. Researchers built and characterized a variety of logic gates in a number of organisms, [107] and demonstrated both analog and digital computation in living cells.
Biological computation. The concept of biological computation proposes that living organisms perform computations, and that as such, abstract ideas of information and computation may be key to understanding biology. [1] [2] As a field, biological computation can include the study of the systems biology computations performed by biota [3] [4] [5 ...
Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [a] Computational systems biology [b] [1] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems. It involves the use of computer simulations of ...
Biological engineering. Biological engineering or bioengineering is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically viable products. [1] Biological engineering employs knowledge and expertise from a number of pure and applied sciences, [2] such as mass and heat transfer, kinetics ...
