Abstract

This paper describes an experience that combines Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search as a mechanism for correcting lanes in DNA images obtained through Random Amplified Polymorphism DNA (RAPD) technique. RAPDs images are affected by various factors; among these factors, the noise and distortion that impact the quality of images, and subsequently, accuracy in interpreting the data. This work proposes a hybrid method that uses genetic algorithms, for dealing with the highly combinatorial feature of this problem, and tabu search, for dealing with local optimum. The results obtained by using them in this particular problem show an improvement in both, fitness of individuals and execution time.
