Talk:Computational biology

message: I've noticed that there are two pages with the same name here:
  * Computational biology
 
  * Computational Biology  --> Redirect to --> Bioinformatics
I understand the definition and scope of the fields are still developing and debatable but we should at least try to acknowledge them clearly.  There should be references in scientific journals discussing this that could be referenced.

thread_title: Redirect

message: * Computational Biology could contain a short description of what it is, specifically, but should be careful not to overlap with Bioinformatics.
Please vote:
* agree - content here is already becomming redundant with 'bioinformatics' page, which is why the original Computational Biology page was merged.  Distinction based on the case of the letter b is confusing.
* disagree - Granted having the capitalized link redirect to a different page is confusing. Biology is typically not capitalized in fields like Evolutionary biology Developmental biology Microbiology Marine biology Human biology Molecular biology but is in Environmental Biology (which however redirects to Ecology). So Computational Biology should redirect to Computational biology as in the rest of Biology articles. I will fix the redirect link from B to b, but see my next proposal.

thread_title:  Proposal: This page should redirect to [[Computational Biology]].

message: * agree See the recurring unsettled debate about what is the difference between the two on Talk:Bioinformatics to realize that the fields are hard to separate by any strict definitions, but that at least some people think there is a difference between these fields. However, it hasn't been demonstrated that we really have enough willing authors to properly clean up ONE site, let alone TWO and try to coordinate their overlap. I say we focus on Bioinformatics unless someone takes the time to write a really nice article on what exactly is Computational biology (irrespective of Bioinformatics) JetheroTalk 21:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal: Merge this page with Bioinformatics and redirect to Bioinformatics 

message: * These publications are not directly discussed in the article. But they might be helpful resources for the talk page to I've kept them. JetheroTalk 22:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  virtual cell 

message: The intro should try not mention specific techniques
e.g. Systems biology often usesdifferential equation to model the interactome but is certainly not limited to that technique.  (I edited this one but left the rest in).  Same with genomics... not just microarrays etc.
Computational biology is an integrative approach to evidence and theories.  This should be the main point of the introduction with links to stubs where appropriate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.143.230 (talk) 12:32, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Presentation Notes 

message: The sentence "By 1982, information was being shared amongst researchers through the use of punch cards."  Seems to extend the use of punch cards by several years as floppy disks and mag tape were in wide usage for sharing.  Is there a historical reference to this?

thread_title:  Broken reference 

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Computational biology. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120905155331/http://www.bisti.nih.gov/docs/CompuBioDef.pdf to http://www.bisti.nih.gov/docs/compubiodef.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
