The study of all codes of life with the standard methods of science is a new field of research that started in 2012 with the foundation of the International Society of Code Biology (www.codebiology.org). The two major activities of this society are (a) the organization of Annual International Conferences in Code Biology (from 2014 onwards), and (b) the periodical publication of Special Issues in BioSystems.
