It's more than simple databasing, mining, or in silico experimentation. To create and analyze nature-inspired computer simulation of biological systems – from pathways to cells to entire ecosystems – and then use this information to devise new and creative ways to study life, it must incorporate these things and much more. At its core, though, the definition of digital biology, which is the focus of this issue of The Scientist, should be quite simple and quite literal: It's anything that employs the logic of ones and zeroes in the study of life.
