A threading program based on genetic algorithm, is proposed for the protein fold recognition problem. Proper algorithm is designed in which genetic operators can be effectively implemented, and a more realistic energy model is adopted in this work. The performance of the genetic threading method is tested on a standard fold recognition benchmark, and the results show that the genetic threading method has good alignment accuracy and fold recognition ability. The analysis of the results demonstrates the rationality of our energy model.
