Background of the Study
With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, the amount of genomic data generated has increased exponentially. Genomic data, however, presents unique challenges, particularly in terms of its scale, complexity, and the need for specialized analysis tools to extract meaningful insights. Big data analytics has the potential to address these challenges by enabling the processing and analysis of vast datasets in a timely and efficient manner. At Benue State University, Makurdi, Benue State, this study aims to develop a big data analytics framework tailored for genomic data processing, leveraging advanced analytics techniques such as machine learning, parallel computing, and cloud technologies. This framework will enhance the ability of researchers to handle large-scale genomic datasets, improving data accessibility and analysis efficiency for various biological studies.
Statement of the Problem
As genomic research continues to evolve, the volume of data generated from sequencing projects is growing at an unprecedented rate. Current computational methods and infrastructure used by many Nigerian research institutions, including Benue State University, are not optimized to handle such vast amounts of data. Researchers are often faced with slow processing speeds, data storage limitations, and inefficiencies in analyzing complex genomic datasets. The development of a robust big data analytics framework is needed to overcome these challenges and enable more efficient genomic data processing, particularly in resource-limited settings like Nigeria.
Objectives of the Study
-
To design a big data analytics framework for processing and analyzing genomic data.
-
To implement the framework using scalable technologies like cloud computing and machine learning.
-
To evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the big data analytics framework in processing genomic data at Benue State University.
Research Questions
-
How can a big data analytics framework improve the processing and analysis of genomic data at Benue State University?
-
What are the key components and technologies required for an effective big data analytics framework for genomic data?
-
How does the implementation of big data analytics impact research productivity and data processing time in genomic studies?
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the optimization of genomic data processing in Nigerian research institutions, particularly Benue State University. By developing a big data analytics framework, the study aims to enhance the speed, efficiency, and scalability of genomic data analysis, thus improving research outcomes and supporting innovations in biotechnology and personalized medicine.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the development and implementation of a big data analytics framework for genomic data at Benue State University, Makurdi, Benue State. Limitations include the availability of high-performance computing resources and the integration of the framework with various genomic data formats.
