Background of the Study
Neural networks, a class of machine learning models, have become increasingly influential in bioinformatics for tasks such as gene prediction, where they can learn complex relationships within biological data. In the context of disease gene prediction, neural networks can help identify genes that are associated with specific diseases by processing large-scale genomic datasets. The Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, presents an opportunity to explore the effectiveness of neural networks in predicting disease-related genes, thereby enhancing our understanding of genetic predispositions to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. By applying neural network models to genomic data, researchers can uncover hidden patterns that traditional methods might overlook, providing insights into the genetic basis of diseases. This approach can contribute to early diagnosis, improved therapeutic targets, and personalized treatment strategies in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Genetic research in Nigeria faces significant challenges due to the complexity of disease-related genes and the limitations of traditional analytical methods. While genomic sequencing has revealed vast amounts of data, identifying disease-associated genes remains a difficult task. Traditional computational methods may struggle with the high dimensionality and non-linear relationships within genomic data. Neural networks, however, have demonstrated promise in overcoming these challenges by learning intricate patterns from data. At Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, the application of neural network models to disease gene prediction has not been fully explored. The lack of expertise and computational infrastructure hinders the university's ability to leverage these advanced models for disease gene identification, limiting the potential for breakthroughs in personalized medicine and disease prevention.
