Abstract

Machine learning is the adaptive process that makes computers improve from experience, by example, and by analogy. Learning capabilities are essential for automatically enhancing the performance of a computational system over time on the basis of previous history. Bioinformatics is the interdisciplinary science of interpreting biological data using information technology and computer science. The field of bioinformatics main objective is to develop relevant computational systems for biological purposes. In this paper, we study how machine learning can help in developing better bioinformatics methods and tools in a coherent manner. We attempt to integrate the multitude of existing methods and tools in a unifying framework as a prelude to showing how machine learning can uncover even more useful structures hidden in biological sequences.
