The objective of biological research is to understand the structural and the
functional aspects of life. Though living organisms are diverse in almost every
aspect, they are made of cells, and share the same machinery for their basic
functions. The structural and functional aspect of life is traceable to genes,
given that the information from the genes determine the protein composition
and thereby the function of the cell. Hence, predicting the functions of
individual genes is the gate way for understanding the blueprint of life. The
rationale behind the ongoing genome sequencing projects is...
