The PLOS Computational Biology Software Section

PLOS Computational Biology has been accepting and publishing so call Software Articles for about a year now. The articles that have been released under this category span a wide range of different topics in computational biology.  In today's editorial, Hilmar Lapp and I are providing a brief overview of what has been published  so far and describe some of the ideas behind the Software section.
