Computational intelligence in bioinformatics.9780470105269 Computational intelligence Computational intelligence (CI) is a successor of artificial intelligence. As an alternative to GOFAI it rather relies on heuristic algorithms such as in Fuzzy systems, Neural networks and Evolutionary computation. in bioinformatics. Ed. by Gary B. Fogel et al. John Wiley & Sons 2008 355 pages $79.95 Hardcover Q342 Bioinformatics has become increasingly useful in science and industry, but the limitations of traditional algorithms have made modeling difficult. At the same time, researchers have made significant advances in computational intelligence, and it appears from these 13 articles their work could significantly ease the current bottleneck. Papers address gene expression analysis and systems biology (including such topics as neural classifier and swarm intelligence in multi-class cancer diagnosis, gene expression profiles and evolutionary computation, clusters in gene expression data, and the application of evolutionary computing to gene networks), sequence analysis and feature detection (including fuzzy-granular models for identification of marker genes, evolutionary feature selection, fuzzy approaches to the analysis of CpG island methylation methylation, n a phase-II detoxification pathway in the liver; methyl groups combine with toxins to rid the body of various substances. methylation (meth´ patterns), molecular structure and phylogenetics phy·lo·ge·net·ics n.
