Preface

Genome mapping, a critical aspect of genomics, has seen transformative advancements with the advent of machine learning techniques. These innovative methodologies have redefined the way we analyse, interpret, and leverage genetic data. The book, "Elevating Next Generation Genomic Science and Technology using Machine Learning in the Healthcare Industry," aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the intersection of machine learning and genomics. It serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers, students, and professionals looking to harness the power of artificial intelligence in genomics.

The revolutionary capabilities offered by the field of Machine learning make it a powerful tool in genomic mapping. A human genome, made up of billions of base pairs, is a repository of vast amounts of information. This information plays a crucial role in developing a knowledge base for understanding diseases, genetic traits, and evolutionary processes. Handling the complexity and scale of genomic data has been a challenging task for most of the traditional methods.

In the context of genome mapping, machine learning algorithms are capable of processing genomic sequences, identifying patterns, and extracting meaningful insights in a more efficient and accurate manner than conventional approaches, offering enhanced accuracy, improved speed, and enabling personalised medicine.
