Background of the Study
Genomic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (indels), play a critical role in determining an individual’s phenotype and disease risk. Accurate analysis of these variants is essential for advancing personalized medicine. At Adamawa State University, Mubi, researchers are evaluating AI-based approaches to enhance the analysis of genomic variants. This study leverages advanced artificial intelligence techniques, such as deep learning and neural networks, to improve variant detection and classification (Ibrahim, 2023). By processing high-throughput sequencing data, the AI models can identify subtle genetic variations with greater precision than traditional methods. The system incorporates pre-processing pipelines, variant calling algorithms, and classification models that work in tandem to distinguish between benign and pathogenic variants. Furthermore, the approach integrates external databases and functional annotation tools to provide a comprehensive interpretation of genomic alterations (Chukwu, 2024). The interdisciplinary effort combines expertise from computational biology, genomics, and clinical genetics to ensure that the AI models are both robust and clinically applicable. This innovative approach not only accelerates the analysis process but also reduces the error rate, enabling more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans. The use of scalable cloud computing platforms ensures that the system can handle the ever-increasing volume of genomic data, making it a sustainable solution for genomic research. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of AI-based methods to transform the field of genomic variant analysis, paving the way for more precise and efficient applications in clinical genomics and precision medicine (Adebayo, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the proliferation of genomic data, the accurate analysis of genomic variants remains a significant challenge. At Adamawa State University, Mubi, conventional variant calling and annotation tools often fall short in terms of accuracy and efficiency, particularly when processing large-scale datasets (Bello, 2023). These traditional methods are prone to errors, such as high false-positive rates and difficulty in distinguishing rare pathogenic variants from benign polymorphisms. Moreover, the integration of diverse data sources for variant interpretation is fragmented, leading to inconsistencies in clinical decision-making. The absence of a unified AI-based approach exacerbates these issues, resulting in delayed diagnoses and suboptimal patient care. This study seeks to address these challenges by implementing and evaluating AI-based methods that can automate and enhance the detection and classification of genomic variants. By employing state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms and integrating multiple genomic databases, the proposed approach aims to provide a more accurate and efficient pipeline for variant analysis. Overcoming these limitations is critical for improving the predictive power of genomic studies and facilitating the transition to precision medicine. The expected outcome is a robust system that not only streamlines variant analysis but also offers comprehensive functional annotations to guide clinical interventions (Okafor, 2024).
