Background of the Study
Bacterial genomics involves the study of the genetic makeup of bacteria and their variations, which is crucial for understanding bacterial evolution, pathogenicity, and resistance mechanisms. In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in bioinformatics has revolutionized the way genomic data is analyzed. AI-based software tools can automate complex tasks such as genome annotation, sequence alignment, and identification of genetic variations, significantly reducing the time and effort required in bacterial genomics research. At the University of Abuja, FCT, the need for efficient and accurate genomic analysis tools has grown as bacterial genomic studies become more complex, with large datasets requiring advanced computational techniques for interpretation. Developing AI-based bioinformatics software specifically tailored for bacterial genomics could help streamline the research process, improving the accuracy of results and accelerating scientific discoveries related to bacterial diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
Statement of the Problem
Current bioinformatics tools for bacterial genomics are often limited by their computational power and their ability to process the growing volumes of genomic data. Traditional methods of analyzing bacterial genomes are time-consuming and may not fully capture the complex genetic patterns present. This limitation hinders the ability of researchers at the University of Abuja to make breakthroughs in understanding bacterial behavior and genetic diversity. Furthermore, the lack of specialized AI-based bioinformatics software tailored for bacterial genomics in the university poses a significant challenge. There is a clear need for the development of such software to enable more efficient analysis and interpretation of bacterial genomic data.
