Bioinformatics package uses GAs
Bruker Daltonics ClinProTools 2.1 uses genetic algorithms and other techniques for biomarker panel analysis, biofluid profiling, multivariate data analysis of large sample cohorts, classical statistics and sample classification (see here):
ClinProTools 2.1 now includes many additional features for data analysis and visualization: the new proprietary Supervised Neural Network(TM) algorithm allows a third independent multiclass, multivariate analysis approach, complementing the company's existing Support Vector Machine and Modified Genetic Algorithm. Furthermore, it supports univariate peak statistics and a proprietary QuickClassifier (TM) algorithm. In addition to these supervised approaches, ClinProTools 2.1 also includes Principle Component Analysis (PCA) for unsupervised data analysis.
More information is available at the company's web site (here).
