A survey of application: Genomics and genetic programming, a new frontier

The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction to the rapidly developing field of genetic programming (GP). Particular emphasis is placed on the application of GP to genomics. First, the basic methodology of GP is introduced. This is followed by a review of applications in the areas of gene network inference, gene expression data analysis, SNP analysis, epistasis analysis and gene annotation. Finally this paper concluded by suggesting potential avenues of possible future research on genetic programming, opportunities to extend the technique, and areas for possible practical applications.

► We have surveyed the applications of Genetic programming in Genomics.
► Survey of GP application in gene network inference and gene annotation is included.
► SNP analysis and Epistasis Analysis done with the help of GP in also included.
► GP applicative survey of research done on gene expression-based data.
► Finally paper concluded by further avenues of research in GP and Genomics.
