Background of the Study
Microbial genomics involves the study of the genetic material of microorganisms, which include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. The classification of microbial genomes is essential for understanding their evolutionary relationships, pathogenic potential, and resistance mechanisms. Machine learning techniques, which allow computers to learn from data and improve over time, have gained significant attention in the classification of microbial genomes due to their ability to process large and complex datasets. At the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State, implementing a machine learning framework for microbial genome classification could greatly enhance the university's capacity to classify microbial species, predict pathogenicity, and identify new strains with clinical relevance.
Statement of the Problem
The classification of microbial genomes is a challenging task due to the vast diversity of microorganisms and the complexity of their genetic makeup. Traditional methods of microbial genome classification are often time-consuming and error-prone. With the increasing volume of genomic data being generated, there is a need for advanced computational tools that can handle large datasets and provide accurate classifications. Machine learning provides a promising solution by automating the classification process and improving the accuracy and efficiency of microbial genome analysis. However, its implementation in Nigerian academic institutions, such as the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, remains limited.
Objectives of the Study
-
To develop a machine learning framework for classifying microbial genomes.
-
To integrate machine learning algorithms for accurate species identification and strain classification.
-
To evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of the framework in microbial genomics research at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi.
Research Questions
-
How can machine learning be applied to classify microbial genomes effectively?
-
What machine learning algorithms provide the highest accuracy in microbial genome classification?
-

Significance of the Study
This study will enable the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, to leverage machine learning techniques for microbial genome classification, enhancing research in microbial genomics. The results could improve the identification of microbial species and strains, leading to better management of microbial diseases and advances in agricultural microbiology.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the development and application of a machine learning framework for microbial genome classification at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State. Limitations include the availability of microbial genomic data and the computational resources for running machine learning algorithms.
