@Gigili. Fair enough, if that was what it was. Neural Networks as a technique can be applied to many domains, and as such they have been applied to bioinformatics problems, but they are a peripheral technique. If that was your (only) reference book on a bioinfromatics course, your course was about neural networks, not bioinformatics. See bioinformatics.org/wiki/Bioinformatics where the technique appears as 'whole other disciplines of biologically-inspired computation'
@Gigili - really?! A book on Neural Networks appears at first glance to have little to do with every-day Bioinformatics. Computational Biology / Bioinformatics is not normally taking biological ideas and applying them in computer sciences, it is most commonly the application of computer science to solving biological problems.
