Abstract

 In recent decades, the dividing line between Biology and Computer Science has gradually blurred. On the one hand, a large number of computational methods (collectively known as bioinspired methods) have emerged from a wide variety of biological systems or processes, such as evolutionary algorithms, artificial neural networks, or membrane-based computing. On the other hand, scientific advancement in the vast majority of Biology disciplines has led researchers to rely entirely on computer systems and computational methods for the processing, analysis, and synthesis of information, as is the case with Genomics, Proteomics, and other biological disciplines aided by Bioinformatics tools123. This highlights the increasing intersection of biology and computer science, and the significant role of computational methods in advancing biological research
