Data Mining in Science

In bioinformatics it can be used to analyze
DNA sequences to find the relationship between some specific gene
sequence and a specific disease. In other words, the change of the DNA
sequence can give an indication of the high probability of the development
of some disease. Data mining is used also in medical decision support. Patient
records include patients demographic information, symptoms, blood
measurements and laboratory test results.In astronomy where huge number of images is
collected from telescope and satellites, data mining can be used to classify
objects such as stars and galaxies depending on objects attributes. It can
also be used to find rare, unusual, or even previously unknown types of
astronomical objects and phenomena.
