當(dāng)前生物信息學(xué)的目標(biāo)是公布生物信息學(xué)的所有最新和突出的發(fā)展。每一期都包含一系列及時、深入/微型的評論、研究論文和由該領(lǐng)域領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人撰寫的客編主題問題，涵蓋了生物學(xué)與計算機和信息科學(xué)的廣泛融合。該雜志關(guān)注計算分子/結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)的進展，包括生物醫(yī)學(xué)和基因組學(xué)計算、計算蛋白質(zhì)組學(xué)和系統(tǒng)生物學(xué)以及代謝途徑工程等領(lǐng)域。這些領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展直接影響到醫(yī)療保健、醫(yī)學(xué)、遺傳疾病、農(nóng)產(chǎn)品開發(fā)、可再生能源、環(huán)境保護等關(guān)鍵問題。當(dāng)前的生物信息學(xué)是所有學(xué)術(shù)和工業(yè)研究人員的重要期刊，他們希望對生物信息學(xué)的所有主要進展有專業(yè)知識。

Current Bioinformatics aims to publish all the latest and outstanding developments in bioinformatics. Each issue contains a series of timely, in-depth/mini-reviews, research papers and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field, covering a wide range of the integration of biology with computer and information science.The journal focuses on advances in computational molecular/structural biology, encompassing areas such as computing in biomedicine and genomics, computational proteomics and systems biology, and metabolic pathway engineering. Developments in these fields have direct implications on key issues related to health care, medicine, genetic disorders, development of agricultural products, renewable energy, environmental protection, etc.Current Bioinformatics is an essential journal for all academic and industrial researchers who want expert knowledge on all major advances in bioinformatics.
