... is another area you might find interesting. There has been lots of modeling of biological systems on levels from cellular to ecosystem. Genetic algorithms are also an interesting area, though they have found more application as an optimization tool than in biology. For early systems biology ...

... tasks are the slowest or most limiting? My background is in text compression, databases, and parallel processing, but I know basic bionformatic algorithms as well, since they're so related. But what I don't know is what, in practice, is the bottleneck for most bioinformatic users is. I'm hoping ...

... of intelligence is for someone looking for an easy way to add intelligence to their game engine. Also helps show what is going on in Genetic Algorithms that are such good problem solvers by their having the 4 requirements. Natural Selection is something added to zap out some of the replicated ...

Sadly, sequence alignment algorithms are way out of my league... :P I heard from a laboratory that my program helped them save on GCK, another program with an expensive license. I am not familiar with it, and I can't imagine that it replaces ...

... describe the two main methods used for generating local and global pairwise alignments of nucleotide and amino acid sequences? Why are these algorithms not suitable for multiple sequence alignments? • Alignment based method – backward computation (original Needleman and Wunsch) – Largely ...
