This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics, EvoBIO 2007, held in Valencia, Spain, April 2007. Coverage brings together experts in computer science with experts in bioinformatics and the biological sciences. It presents contributions on fundamental and theoretical issues along with papers dealing with different applications areas.

The ?eld of bioinformatics has two main objectives: the creation and main- nance of biological databases and the analysis of life sciences data in order to unravel the mysteries of biological function. Computer science methods such as patternrecognition, machinelearning, anddatamining haveagreatdealtoo?er the ?eld of bioinformatics. The Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics (PRIB) meeting was established in 2006 under the auspices of the International Asso- ation of Pattern Recognition (IAPR) to create a focus for the application and development of computer science methods to life science...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics, PRIB 2014, held in Stockholm, Sweden in August 2014. The 9 revised full papers and 9 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The focus of the conference was on the latest Research in Pattern Recognition and Computational Intelligence-Based Techniques Applied to Problems in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
