The amount of biological and biomedical data being accumulated continues to grow at incredible rates. Having tools that can search through these enormous databases is of critical importance to the advancement of research. Data mining is a field of research in Computer Science that specializes in examining large collections of data and extracting patterns that occur within the data. One useful technique for performing data mining is through a genetic algorithm, a process that mimics evolution. This chapter highlights data mining and the genetic algorithm technique, and it also lists many applications where data mining tools have been beneficial to biological and biomedical researchers, and lists some of the available data mining tools.
