《生物信息學(xué)》是該領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)先期刊，出版學(xué)術(shù)和工業(yè)研究人員感興趣的高質(zhì)量科學(xué)論文和評論文章。其主要研究方向是基因組生物信息學(xué)和計(jì)算生物學(xué)的新進(jìn)展。期刊中有兩個(gè)截然不同的部分——發(fā)現(xiàn)筆記和應(yīng)用筆記——側(cè)重于篇幅較短的論文;前者使用計(jì)算方法報(bào)告生物學(xué)上有趣的發(fā)現(xiàn)，后者探索用于實(shí)驗(yàn)的應(yīng)用。

The leading journal in its field, Bioinformatics publishes the highest quality scientific papers and review articles of interest to academic and industrial researchers. Its main focus is on new developments in genome bioinformatics and computational biology. Two distinct sections within the journal - Discovery Notes and Application Notes - focus on shorter papers; the former reporting biologically interesting discoveries using computational methods, the latter exploring the applications used for experiments.
