While researchers are increasingly interested in the problem of biological sciences, EC and problem solving skills are generally not well understood or applied in the biological community. This book offers a definitive resource to bridge the community of computer science and biology. Gary Fogel and David Corne, famous representative of these fields, introduced the bioinformatics biology and computer scientists, and computational evolutionary biology and computer scientists are not familiar with this technique. Fourteen chapters written by leading computer scientists and biologists who examined the application of successful evolutionary computation to various problems in the biological sciences. * Explain the EC for bioinformatics applications in various fields including DNA sequencing, protein folding, gene and protein classification, drug targeting, drug design, data mining of biological databases, and biographical data visualization. * Offering industrial and academic researchers in computer science, biology, and bioinformatics resources necessary to implement evolutionary computation. * Includes detailed data appendix biological resources.
