The considerable "algorithmic complexity" of biological systems requires a huge amount of detailed information for their complete description. Although far from being complete, the overwhelming quantity of small pieces of information gathered for all kind of biological systems at the molecular and cellular level requires computational tools to be adequately stored and interpreted. Interpretation of data means to abstract them as much as allowed to provide a systematic, an integrative view of biology. Most of the presently available scientific journals focus either on accumulating more data from elaborate experimental approaches, or on presenting new algorithms for the interpretation of these data. Both approaches are meritorious.
