Background of the Study
The rapid advancement in genomic technologies has significantly increased the volume of gene expression data available to researchers. This surge in data necessitates the development of sophisticated analytical tools that can process and interpret complex biological information. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful approach in bioinformatics, offering the potential to automate and enhance the analysis of gene expression data. At Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, researchers are leveraging AI‐based systems to streamline the process of data analysis, enabling the identification of gene expression patterns that are crucial for understanding cellular functions and disease mechanisms (Adeyemi, 2023). The integration of machine learning algorithms with traditional statistical methods provides a robust framework for handling high‐dimensional datasets, reducing noise, and improving the accuracy of gene expression profiling. Moreover, AI‐based systems can learn from large datasets to predict outcomes and reveal hidden relationships between genes, thereby offering insights that may not be apparent through conventional analysis techniques (Bello, 2024). The design and implementation of such a system involve multiple stages, including data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, and validation. Each stage is critical, as errors in data handling can propagate and affect the final analysis. In this context, the study focuses on developing an AI‐based system that can integrate various data sources, standardize gene expression inputs, and apply deep learning techniques to uncover meaningful biological insights. The interdisciplinary nature of this research, which combines computer science, statistics, and molecular biology, is particularly beneficial for addressing the challenges posed by the complexity of gene expression data. Additionally, the system is designed to be user‐friendly, ensuring that researchers with limited computational expertise can utilize it effectively. The project also emphasizes scalability, allowing the platform to handle increasingly large datasets as sequencing technologies continue to evolve. Collaborative efforts between faculty, IT specialists, and domain experts at Federal University, Kashere, aim to create a sustainable and adaptable solution for gene expression analysis that could serve as a model for other institutions facing similar challenges (Chukwuma, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the transformative potential of AI in analyzing gene expression data, several challenges hinder its effective implementation at Federal University, Kashere. Existing analytical methods often struggle with the high dimensionality and complexity of gene expression datasets, resulting in prolonged analysis times and limited accuracy in identifying subtle expression patterns. Furthermore, many current systems lack the adaptability required to manage diverse data formats and varying quality levels, which can compromise the reliability of the results (Dada, 2023). The absence of a centralized, AI‐driven platform leads to fragmented approaches where researchers rely on disparate tools that do not communicate effectively, resulting in inconsistent outcomes. Additionally, there is a significant gap in the integration of domain‐specific knowledge with advanced computational techniques, which further limits the ability to accurately interpret gene expression data. These challenges are compounded by insufficient computational resources and a lack of specialized training among researchers, creating a bottleneck in the data analysis workflow. The study seeks to address these issues by designing and implementing a unified AI‐based system that standardizes data preprocessing, employs robust feature extraction methods, and integrates deep learning models for precise gene expression analysis. By developing a comprehensive framework that overcomes current limitations, the research aims to enhance the speed, accuracy, and reproducibility of gene expression studies. This approach is particularly vital for advancing research in areas such as disease biomarker discovery and therapeutic target identification, where accurate gene expression profiling is crucial. Ultimately, resolving these challenges will not only improve the quality of genomic research at Federal University, Kashere, but also set a precedent for similar institutions grappling with the complexities of big data in genomics (Eze, 2024).
