Compared to the 1st edition, the new edition includes 20-25% new content. About 10% of the existing chapters are deleted, and each of the three sections includes ~25 new chapters.
The three Editors in Chief will also perform the role of Section Editors; all submitted content will be reviewed by the three Editors.
Shoba Rangananthan was one of the EiCs of the previous Edition; Mario Cannataro was Section Editor for Methods and Asif Khan for Applications.

Ranganathan, Shoba
Shoba Ranganathan holds a Chair in Bioinformatics at Macquarie University since 2004. After a PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, in 1983, she took up a post-doctoral position in France. She has held research and academic positions in India, USA, Singapore and Australia, as well as a consultancy in industry. She hosted the Macquarie Node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics (2008-2013). She was elected the first Australian Board Director of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB; 2003-5), President of the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (2005-) and Steering Committee Member (2007-12) of Bioinformatics Australia. She also serves as Co-Chair of the Computational Mass Spectrometry (CompMS) initiative of the Human Proteome Organization (HuPO), ISCB and Metabolomics Society. Shoba's research addresses several key areas of bioinformatics to understand biological systems using computational approaches. Her group has achieved both experience and expertise in different aspects of computational biology, ranging from metabolites and small molecules to biochemical networks and pathway analysis. Her group's current areas of research are protein-protein interactions, structure-based immune epitope prediction, host-parasite interactions and secretome analysis. She has authored as well as edited several books in Immunoinformatics, and contributed several articles to the Encyclopedia of Systems Biology, published by Springer in 2013.
