Goals
The overall goal of the project is to improve the article quality of Wikipedia articles within the scope. The WikiProject will assist this goal by:
- Identifying specific areas for improvement within existing articles
- Identifying missing topics
- Expand and improve entry pages, such as Computational biology
- Provide a systematic structure of concepts within computational biology, using categories, templates and navigation-boxes.
- Organising articles to provide up-to-date coverage of relevant topics
- Potentially implement other quality control mechanisms (e.g. scientific peer review)
Scope
Topics of interest are:
- "Classical" bioinformatics (i.e. sequence analysis, phylogenetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, software tools and databases)
- Simulation, modelling and analysis of biological systems (as in systems biology) of any scale (molecular structure, gene regulation, metabolism, protein interactions, cell physiology, cell populations, tissue organisation, organ modelling)
- Computational neuroscience, computational immunology
- Analysis and integration of biological concepts (e.g. in ontologies) and of biological data (e.g. microarray or imaging data)
- Important algorithms or techniques widely used in the field (Next generation sequencing analyses, variant calling, etc.)
- Biographies of notable computational biologists
- Centers and institutions of global prominence in the field
If there is sufficient interest, there is room for creating task forces that specifically deal with particular areas within computational biology.
Tasks
Below is a To-Do list of tasks for the WikiProject, if you complete a task or have identified issues the WikiProject can help with, you can edit the below template here.
Articles relating to this WikiProject need to be identified. Please add the WikiProject Computational Biology template to relevant articles.

PLOS topic pages
WikiProject Computational Biology collaborates with the journal PLOS Computational Biology on the Topic Pages initiative.
If you're preparing a topic pages submission and need help or advice from a Wikipedian, reach out to an active WikiProject member.
ISCB article competition
WikiProject members organise an annual Wikipedia article competition in association with the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).
The competition, running since 2012, awards students and trainees for the best contributions to computational biology-related articles. Entry is open internationally, to students and trainees of any level. We particularly encourage lecturers or course organisers to use this competition as a class assignment.
The current status of the competition is:
Queries specific to the competition can be addressed to Alex Bateman or asked on the WikiProject talk page.
