| Description | After a brief introduction to Bioinformatics, the authors discuss how Evolutionary Algorithms can be used to solve problems from Bioinformatics. Later, the authors describe how clustering techniques can group protein fragments and how short fragments can be combined to obtain a larger segment and therefore be able to infer higher level functions for a protein. |
