CS + Computational Biology
Computational biology refers to biological research in which computing plays a central role. Computer-based models, simulations, and statistical analyses are used to investigate all areas of biological discovery. Bioinformatic analyses – including sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree inference – are the most recognizable forms of computational biology. However, a task as distinct as modeling and simulating the fluid dynamics of a closed circulatory system is also an example of computational biology. The breadth of the field suggests that students should be allowed some freedom to choose upper division courses relevant to their interests.
