I assume you are looking for examples of application:
Genetic algorithms applied to multi-class prediction for the analysis of gene expression data
GenClust: A genetic algorithm for clustering gene expression data
And to satisfy the character "R" in your tags:
GALGO: an R package for multivariate variable selection using genetic algorithms.

How To Get Started In Bioinformatics?
written by Oli
If this is the title of your new book, I am looking forward to read it ;-P
I think it's more likely that it's an essay question for University.
This is way too vague of a question. Perhaps this should be more of a discussion forum post. I'll change it to a forum post. I've also edited the question to be a bit more specific.
can you be more specific about the question Or,
this is the answer
the use of genetic algorithms in bioinformatics
The lab I spent most of my undergrad years in does work with GAs: http://erilllab.umbc.edu/research/projects/
It's more the other way around, applying bioinformatics algorithms to genetic problems, e.g. phasing or assembly.
Given our use of heuristics and optimal solutions, I'd say the principal statement also holds true - we do use GAs.
