Artificial Neural Networks in Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is a new research area which integrates many core subjects such as biology, medicine, computer science, and mathematics. Since most of the problems in bioinformatics are inherently hard researches have used artificial intelligence techniques to solve such problems. Artificial neural networks are one such method used in many situations and have proved to be very effective. This paper will focus on issues related to construction of a neural network to solve bioinformatics problems and describes some of its current applications.
