Bioinformatics is contributing to some of the most importantadvances in medicine and biology. At the forefront of thisexciting new subject are techniques known as artificialintelligence which are inspired by the way in whichnature solves the problems it faces. This book provides aunique insight into the complex problems of bioinformatics and theinnovative solutions which make up 'intelligentbioinformatics'.
Intelligent Bioinformatics requires onlyrudimentary knowledge of biology, bioinformatics or computerscience and is aimed at interested readers regardless ofdiscipline. Three introductory chapters on biology,bioinformatics and the complexities of search and optimisationequip the reader with the necessary knowledge to proceed throughthe remaining eight chapters, each of which is dedicated to anintelligent technique in bioinformatics.
The book also contains many links to software and informationavailable on the internet, in academic journals and beyond, makingit an indispensable reference for the 'intelligentbioinformatician'.
Intelligent Bioinformatics will appeal to allpostgraduate students and researchers in bioinformatics andgenomics as well as to computer scientists interested in thesedisciplines, and all natural scientists with large data sets toanalyse.
