Abstract
In the post-genomic era, bioinformatics methods play a central role in understanding vast amounts of biological data. Due to their ability to find arbitrarily complex patterns within these data, neural networks play a unique, exciting and pivotal role in areas as diverse as protein structure and function prediction. This paper presents a critical overview of recent advances in bioinformatics which have utilised neural network methods.
