Abstract:

An evolutionary computation technique, genetic programming, was used to create programs that classify DNA sequences into one of three classes: (1) contains a centrally-located donor splice site, (2) contains a centrally-located acceptor splice site, and (3) contains neither donor nor an acceptor. The performance of the programs created are competitive with previous work.
