I just submitted a manuscript to a computational biology journal, and during the process, I was asked how to classify it. Not being sure just exactly what computational biology is, it turns out that the website gave a handy little sub-categorization scheme for it, which clarified things immensely for me:

  • Alternative Splicing
  • Comparative Sequence Analysis
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Ecosystem Modeling
  • Genomics
  • Literature Analysis
  • Macromolecular Sequence Analysis
  • Macromolecular Structure Analysis
  • Metabolic Networks
  • Metagenomics
  • Molecular Dynamics
  • Molecular Genetics
  • Population Genetics
  • Protein Homology Detection
  • Protein Structure Prediction
  • Sequence Motif Analysis
  • Signaling Networks
  • Synthetic Biology
  • Systems Biology
  • Transcriptional Regulation
