當前生物信息學的目標是公布生物信息學的所有最新和突出的發展。每一期都包含一系列及時、深入/微型的評論、研究論文和由該領域領導人撰寫的客編主題問題，涵蓋了生物學與計算機和信息科學的廣泛融合。該雜志關注計算分子/結構生物學的進展，包括生物醫學和基因組學計算、計算蛋白質組學和系統生物學以及代謝途徑工程等領域。這些領域的發展直接影響到醫療保健、醫學、遺傳疾病、農產品開發、可再生能源、環境保護等關鍵問題。當前的生物信息學是所有學術和工業研究人員的重要期刊，他們希望對生物信息學的所有主要進展有專業知識。

Current Bioinformatics aims to publish all the latest and outstanding developments in bioinformatics. Each issue contains a series of timely, in-depth/mini-reviews, research papers and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field, covering a wide range of the integration of biology with computer and information science.The journal focuses on advances in computational molecular/structural biology, encompassing areas such as computing in biomedicine and genomics, computational proteomics and systems biology, and metabolic pathway engineering. Developments in these fields have direct implications on key issues related to health care, medicine, genetic disorders, development of agricultural products, renewable energy, environmental protection, etc.Current Bioinformatics is an essential journal for all academic and industrial researchers who want expert knowledge on all major advances in bioinformatics.
