Inspired from nature, evolutionary algorithms have been proven effective and unique in different real world applications. Comparing to traditional algorithms, its parallel search capability and stochastic nature enable it to excel in search performance in a unique way. In this chapter, evolutionary algorithms are reviewed and discussed from concepts and designs to applications in bioinformatics. The history of evolutionary algorithms is first discussed at the beginning. An overview on the state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithm concepts is then provided. Following that, the related design and implementation details are discussed on different aspects: representation, parent selection, reproductive operators, survival selection, and fitness function. At the end of this chapter, real world evolutionary algorithm applications in bioinformatics are reviewed and discussed.

Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) is an extension of evolutionary algorithm in which quantum mechanics and its representations are introduced. A chromosome in QEA is represented as a series of qubits (quantum bits), and phase-rotation gates are embedded into the selection process over generations. This algorithm has been shown to have better performances than the classical ones in small benchmark problems, but this has not yet been applied to larger scale problems. We show the performances of this QEA by solving the Knapsack problem, maximum search problem, and construction of image filter. We also investigate the diversity of individuals in a population in order to estimate the robustness against environmental changes.
