Background of the Study
Genomic data analysis plays a critical role in advancing our understanding of human health, disease mechanisms, and personalized medicine. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, the volume of genomic data generated has grown exponentially. However, the complexity and sheer volume of this data present significant challenges for traditional analytical methods (Khan et al., 2024). Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning algorithms, has emerged as a powerful tool for processing and analyzing genomic data, offering the potential to uncover hidden patterns, predict disease risks, and optimize treatment strategies. Federal University, Gusau, Zamfara State, is increasingly focusing on the integration of AI in genomic research, positioning itself as a key player in the application of these technologies. AI can enhance the accuracy, speed, and scalability of genomic data analysis, helping to solve problems related to gene identification, disease association, and drug development. The study aims to explore the potential of AI to improve the genomic data analysis process, specifically focusing on its application within the context of Nigerian research institutions.
Statement of the Problem
Genomic data analysis is a resource-intensive task, requiring specialized skills and powerful computational tools. The challenges of handling massive datasets, along with the need for accurate interpretation of complex genomic variations, make it difficult for traditional methods to keep up with the pace of data generation (Ahmed et al., 2025). While AI techniques have shown promise in other domains, their application to genomic data remains underexplored in Nigerian academic settings, particularly at institutions like Federal University, Gusau. Without the implementation of AI-based tools for genomic analysis, researchers may face difficulties in uncovering actionable insights from vast genomic datasets, which could hinder progress in personalized medicine and public health initiatives. This study addresses these challenges by evaluating the potential of AI to enhance genomic data analysis, providing much-needed clarity on its effectiveness and applicability.

-
To investigate the effectiveness of AI-based algorithms in enhancing genomic data analysis for disease prediction and gene identification.
-
To evaluate the performance of AI tools in the interpretation of genomic variations and their impact on personalized medicine.
-
To assess the feasibility of implementing AI-driven genomic data analysis platforms at Federal University, Gusau.
Research Questions
-
How can AI algorithms enhance the accuracy and efficiency of genomic data analysis?
-

-
How can AI-based genomic data analysis contribute to the development of personalized medicine?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant in advancing the application of artificial intelligence in genomic research at Federal University, Gusau, and will contribute to the larger body of knowledge on AI-driven solutions in bioinformatics. The findings will provide valuable insights into the role of AI in optimizing genomic data analysis for more accurate and efficient disease prediction, gene identification, and personalized treatments, with potential implications for healthcare in Nigeria and beyond.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the application of artificial intelligence to genomic data analysis within the research environment of Federal University, Gusau. It will examine the performance of AI algorithms in analyzing genomic datasets related to diseases prevalent in Nigeria. The limitations of the study include potential challenges in accessing large-scale genomic datasets and the difficulty of validating AI-generated predictions without clinical trial data.
