Background of the Study :
The rapid growth of genomic data necessitates innovative analytical tools to derive meaningful insights for clinical and research applications. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative approach to processing and interpreting complex genomic datasets. This study focuses on the design and implementation of an AI-based genomic data analysis tool, specifically tailored to the needs of researchers at Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State. The proposed tool will incorporate deep learning algorithms to automate tasks such as sequence alignment, variant calling, and functional annotation (Ibrahim, 2023). By integrating neural network architectures with traditional bioinformatics pipelines, the tool aims to enhance prediction accuracy and reduce analysis time. The system will also feature an intuitive user interface that simplifies data visualization and interpretation, making it accessible to clinicians and researchers with varying levels of computational expertise (Olu, 2024). The integration of real-time data processing and cloud computing capabilities will ensure scalability and high performance. The tool will be validated using local genomic datasets and benchmarked against established methods to ensure its reliability and accuracy. In addition, the study will address challenges related to data privacy and security by incorporating robust encryption and user authentication protocols. The overall goal is to create a versatile, user-friendly platform that bridges the gap between raw genomic data and actionable insights, thereby advancing personalized medicine and genomic research (Bello, 2025).
Statement of the Problem :
Current genomic data analysis tools often require significant manual intervention and advanced computational skills, limiting their accessibility and efficiency. Many available systems are not designed for the unique needs of researchers in resource-limited settings, resulting in prolonged analysis times and potential errors in data interpretation (Ibrahim, 2023). In particular, the complexity of genomic data demands sophisticated algorithms capable of handling high-dimensional datasets and extracting subtle patterns that may be clinically relevant. Additionally, concerns regarding data security, scalability, and user-friendliness hinder the broader adoption of genomic analysis tools. This study seeks to overcome these challenges by developing an AI-based tool that automates key analytical processes, thereby reducing the time and expertise required for genomic data interpretation. The tool will be specifically designed to integrate with local data infrastructures at Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, ensuring that it meets the needs of its user community. By benchmarking the new system against conventional methods and validating its performance with local datasets, the study aims to demonstrate its superiority in terms of speed, accuracy, and ease of use. Addressing these issues is essential for accelerating genomic research and enhancing the translation of genomic discoveries into clinical practice, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes (Olu, 2024).
Objectives of the Study:
To design an AI-based tool for automated genomic data analysis.
To integrate deep learning algorithms for improved prediction and annotation accuracy.
To validate the tool’s performance using local genomic datasets.
Research Questions:
How does the AI-based tool compare to traditional genomic analysis methods?

Significance of the Study :
This study is significant because it develops an AI-based genomic analysis tool that simplifies and accelerates data interpretation, making advanced genomic research more accessible. By integrating deep learning with conventional pipelines, the tool promises enhanced accuracy and efficiency, ultimately contributing to personalized medicine and improved clinical outcomes (Olu, 2024).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
The study is limited to designing and validating the AI-based tool using datasets from Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State. It does not include clinical trial phases or long-term implementation studies.
