摘要

We address the problem of collecting and analyzing vast amount of information in medicine and biology, in the light of the revolutionary technological evolution during the last decades. Currently, the methods of achieving information challenge our capacity to sort and process that data. However, we use the methods of machine learning to sort and analyze this information. In this comprehensive review we describe an experiment of analyzing DNA microarrays using a Genetic Algorithm for feature selection. We study how we can establish a causal relationship between a pattern of genic expression and the evolution of pancreatic cancer using a Genetic Algorithm.
