The feld of bioinformatics has two main objectives: the creation and main- nance of biological databases, and the discovery of knowledge from life sciences data in order to unravel the mysteries of biological function, leading to new drugs and therapies for human disease. Life sciences data come in the form of biological sequences, structures, pathways, or literature. One major aspect of discovering biological knowledge is to search, predict, or model specifc infortioninagivendatasetinorderto generate new in teresting knowledge.Computer science methods such as evolutionary computation, machine learning, and data mining all have a great deal to ofer the feld of bioinformatics.
