With the revolutionary progress in sequencing technologies, computational biology emerged as a game-changing field which is applied in understanding molecular events of life for not only complementary but also exploratory purposes. Bioinformatics resources and tools significantly help in data generation, organization and analysis. However, there is still a need for developing new approaches built based on a biologist’s point of view. In protein bioinformatics, there are several fundamental problems such as (i) determining protein function; (ii) identifying protein-protein interactions; (iii) predicting the effect of amino acid variants. Here, I present three chapters addressing these problems from an evolutionary perspective. Firstly, …
