  abstract =     "We have previously shown how a genetic algorithm (GA)
                 can be used to perform {"}data mining,{"} the discovery
                 of particular/important data within large datasets, by
                 finding optimal data classifications using known
                 examples. However, these approaches, while successful,
                 limited data relationships to those that were
                 {"}fixed{"} before the GA run. We report here on an
                 extension of our previous work, substituting a genetic
                 program (GP) for a GA. The GP could optimize data
                 classification, as did the GA, but could also determine
                 the functional relationships among the features. This
                 gave improved performance and new information on
                 important relation ships among features. We discuss the
                 overall approach, and compare the effectiveness of the
                 GA vs. GP on a biochemistry problem, the determination
                 of the involvement of bound water molecules in protein
                 interactions.",
