This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications, ISBRA 2009, held in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA, in May 2009. The 26 revised full papers presented together four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 55 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including clustering and classification, gene expression analysis, gene networks, genome analysis, motif finding, pathways, protein structure prediction, protein domain interactions, phylogenetics, and software tools.
