Metaheuristics for String Problems in Bio-informatics
Christian Blum ; Paola Festa
- So-called
- string
- problems
- are
- abundant
- in
- bioinformatics
- and
- computational
- biology.
- New
- optimization
- problems
- dealing
- with
- DNA
- or
- protein
- sequences
- are
- constantly
- arising
- and
- researchers
- are
- highly
- in
- need
- of
- efficient
- optimization
- techniques
- for
- solving
- them.One
- obstacle
- for
- optimization
- practitioners
- is
- the
- atypical
- nature
- of
- these
- problems
- which
- require
- an
- interdisciplinary
- approach
- in
- order
- to
- solve
- them
- efficiently
- and accurately.
