Cellular Automata and Its Applications in Bioinformatics: A Review

This paper aims at providing a survey on the problems that can be easily addressed by cellular automata in bioinformatics. Some of the authors have proposed algorithms for addressing some problems in bioinformatics but the application of cellular automata in bioinformatics is a virgin field in research. None of the researchers has tried to relate the major problems in bioinformatics and find a common solution. Extensive literature surveys were conducted. We have considered some papers in various journals and conferences for conduct of our research. This paper provides intuition towards relating various problems in bioinformatics logically and tries to attain a common frame work for addressing the same.
