An important goal in bioinformatics is determining the homology and function of proteins from their sequences. Pairwise sequence similarity algorithms are often employed for this ...
Background: The functional annotation of proteins relies on published information concerning their close and remote homologues in sequence databases. Evidence for remote sequence ...

In this paper, we present two novel memetic algorithms (MAs) for gene selection. Both are synergies of Genetic Algorithm (wrapper methods) and local search methods (filter methods...
We describe our participation in both tasks in the 2003 TREC Genomics track. For the primary task we concentrated mainly upon query expansion and species-specific document search...
