The Quantitative Biology archive (9/03)
The Quantitative Biology archive (q-bio) was introduced 15 Sep 2003.
Subject categories of the q-bio archive:
- BM - Biomolecules
DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, etc.; molecular structures and folding kinetics; molecular interactions; single-molecule manipulation.
Moderators: Chao Tang <chao.tang@ucsf.edu> and Dave Thirumalai <thirum@glue.umd.edu> - GN - Genomics
DNA sequencing and assembly; gene and motif finding; RNA editing and alternative splicing; genomic structure and processes (replication, transcription, methylation, etc); mutational processes.
Moderators: Ralf Bundschuh <bundschuh@mps.ohio-state.edu> and Nikolaus Rajewsky <nikolaus.rajewsky@nyu.edu> - MN - Molecular Networks
gene regulation, signal transduction, proteomics, metabolomics, gene and enzymatic networks.
Moderator: Christopher Myers <crm17@cornell.edu> - SC - Subcellular Processes
assembly and control of subcellular structures (channels, organelles, cytoskeletons, capsules, etc.); molecular motors, transport, subcellular localization; mitosis and meiosis.
Moderator: Ned Wingreen <wingreen@princeton.edu> - CB - Cell Behavior
cell-cell signaling and interaction; morphogenesis and development; apoptosis; bacterial conjugation; viral-host interaction; immunology.
Moderator: Herbert Levine <hlevine@ucsd.edu> - NC - Neurons and Cognition
synapse, cortex, neuronal dynamics, neural network, sensorimotor control, behavior, attention.
Moderators: Gonzalo Polavieja <gonzalo.polavieja@cajal.csic.es> and Carson Chow <ccchow@pitt.edu> - TO - Tissues and Organs
blood flow in vessels, biomechanics of bones, electrical waves, endocrine system, tumor growth.
Moderator: Carson Chow <ccchow@pitt.edu> - PE - Populations and Evolution
population dynamics, spatio-temporal and epidemiological models, dynamic speciation, co-evolution, biodiversity, foodwebs, aging; molecular evolution and phylogeny; directed evolution; origin of life.
Moderators: Luca Peliti <Luca.Peliti@na.infn.it> and Paul Higgs <higgsp@mcmaster.ca> - QM - Quantitative Methods
all experimental, numerical, statistical and mathematical contributions of value to biology.
Moderators: Ralf Bundschuh <bundschuh@mps.ohio-state.edu> and Eberhart Bodenschatz <eb22@cornell.edu> - OT - Other
Moderators: Ralf Bundschuh <bundschuh@mps.ohio-state.edu> and Michael Lässig <lassig@thp.uni-koeln.de>
arXiv:q-bio advisory committee
The advisory committee members serve as consultants to the Cornell University Library and to the arXiv scientific advisory board. All arXiv policy decisions are ultimately made by Cornell University Library.
- Ralf Bundschuh (Ohio State): chair and coordinator.
- Michael Lässig (Köln): coordinator.
- Bill Loomis (UCSD): cell and developmental biology.
- Chuck Stevens (Salk): neural biology.
- Gary Stormo (WUSTL): molecular biology and bioinformatics.
- Diethard Tautz (Köln): developmental and evolutionary biology.
