We have identified an unmet need for a dedicated home for high-quality computational science papers in the field of cancer research. By 'computational,' I am referring to any paper with a major computational, bioinformatics, mathematical, AI, machine learning, systems biology, data science, or 'omics focus. Cancer Research will publish a special series of articles dedicated to computational biology.
