Nature Communications, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72093-5 Antibody discovery often requires major experimental effort. Here, authors report a virtual screen using AlphaFold-Multimer that identified nanobody binders to MRGPRX2, a therapeutic target for itch, demonstrating fully in silico antibody discovery.

Biomolecular Modeling at Scale Wohlwend, Jeremy Predicting the structure and interactions of biomolecules is a fundamental problem in computational biology, with broad implications for disease understanding and drug discovery. Advances in deep learning have enabled remarkable progress, but scaling these approaches to the varied and complex realities of biology is a persistent challenge. This work…

Next step Choose the next useful decision step first. Use the guide or checklist that matches this page's intent before you ask for a manuscript-level diagnostic. Bioinformatics is the leading Oxford University Press (OUP) journal for computational biology, bioinformatics methods, and systems biology. It publishes methods papers, software tools, and computational analyses across genomics, proteom…

Readiness scan Before you submit to Bioinformatics, pressure-test the manuscript. Run the Free Readiness Scan to catch the issues most likely to stop the paper before peer review. Quick answer: If you've built a computational biology tool, written an algorithm for sequence analysis, or developed a new method for structural prediction, Bioinformatics (Oxford) is almost certainly on your shortlist.…

Mordechai Walder Junior Research Scientist Mordechai Walder’s computational biology research has focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying disease through building multimodal prediction models of protein binding interfaces, as well as leveraging gene expression data to model emergent cellular communication networks. He has also spent years studying Talmudic law and Jewish philosophy, in …

Work with Revolutionary Biological Information Rapid developments in genomic and molecular research plus extreme advances in information technologies equals a multitude of biological information—and a growing need for experts able to compute, process, model, simulate, and analyze it. Learn how at Tech. Request Information Form loading . . . Computational biology is a fusion of biology and informa…

Technology, meet biology. Computational biology is a fusion of biology and information technology. Specialists use computational analyses to study the vast information provided by modern molecular biology—such as DNA sequences. You’ll be prepared to analyze data that may support the creation of new pharmaceuticals, treatments for life-altering diseases, improvements in crop production, or protect…

Today, out of an estimated 1 trillion species on Earth, 99.999 percent are considered microbial — bacteria, archaea, viruses, and single-celled eukaryotes. For much of our planet’s history, microbes ruled the Earth, able to live and thrive in the most extreme of environments. Researchers have only just begun in the last few decades to contend […] The post 3 Questions with new faculty member Yunha…

Tanya Berger-Wolf’s first computational biology project started as a bet with a colleague: that she could build an AI model capable of identifying individual zebras faster than a zoologist. She won. Now, the director of the Translational Data Analytics Institute and a professor at The Ohio State University, Berger-Wolf is taking on the whole animal […]
