ioinformatics is the use of
computational techniques to
understand and organize
information associated with
biomolecules. These biomole-
cules include genetic materials such as
nucleic acids and proteins. Ongoing
research is generating huge amounts of
information about these biomolecules at
a phenomenal rate. This requires effi-
cient techniques and methodologies to
organize, analyze, and interpret the
results in a biologically meaningful man-
ner. The high variability in the data
acquisition process, the high dimension-
