Memetic Algorithms in Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an exciting research field for memetic algorithms (MAs). Its core activity is the integration of techniques from Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics to address challenging computational problems related with the analysis of large volumes of data. Due to is huge relevance as a means to understand biology in the 21st Century, this field has attracted the attention of ma...

Heuristic Algorithms in Bioinformatics

Many bioinformatics problems are very hard to solve optimally and within polynomial time of their size. This motivates the use of heuristics in bioinformatics. The present thesis constitutes research into the design and analysis of efficient heuristic algorithms of practical usage for solving biological problems. The research made in this thesis can be related to three main objectives: 1) The d...

Evolutionary Algorithms: Concepts, Designs, and Applications in Bioinformatics: Evolutionary Algorithms for Bioinformatics

Since genetic algorithm was proposed by John Holland (Holland J. H., 1975) in the early 1970s, the study of evolutionary algorithm has emerged as a popular research field (Civicioglu & Besdok, 2013). Researchers from various scientific and engineering disciplines have been digging into this field, exploring the unique power of evolutionary algorithms (Hadka & Reed, 2013). Many applications have...
