Essential guidelines for computational method benchmarking [PDF]
In computational biology and other sciences, researchers are frequently faced with a choice between several computational methods for performing data analyses. Benchmarking studies aim to rigorously compare the performance of different methods using well-

Developing Computational Biology
Scientific research is an international endeavor, and computational biology is no exception. Last year we were fortunate enough to attend conferences and visit laboratories in a number of different countries and developing economies. Some of those countries had well-established programs in computational biology, while others had fledgling efforts in ...

Towards molecular systems biology of gene transcription and regulation [PDF]
Ten years after the determination of the RNA polymerase 11 structure, the basic mechanism of mRNA synthesis during gene transcription is known. In the future, the initiation and regulation of transcription must be studied with a combination of structural

Development and validation of computational models of cellular interaction [PDF]
In this paper we take the view that computational models of biological systems should satisfy two conditions – they should be able to predict function at a systems biology level, and robust techniques of validation against biological models must be ...
