Guest Editorial: Advanced Algorithms of Bioinformatics

Advanced algorithms can help to identify functional relationships of genes in a biological process, discovery sequence, and structural similarities and provide insights into the regulatory mechanism in bioinformatics. In this special section, three papers in their significantly extended versions were selected from the papers presented at the Tenth Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC2012). These papers have shown great cooperation and conscientious consideration throughout the challenging bioinformatics experiments.
