  Machine Learning for Biomarker Discovery: Unlocking the Future of Precision Medicine INTRODUCTION Biomarkers  are   instrumental   in   the   diagnosis   of   disease ,  the   prediction of  patient outcomes, and  the   development of  targeted therapies. The  advent  of machine learning (ML) has transformed biomarker  discovery  by  facilitating  the  processing  of  large  datasets,  detection   of   latent  patterns, and  enhanced  predictive accuracy.  Conventional  biomarker identification relied on experimental  approaches , which were  time-consuming and  expensive . With ML,  scientists  can   process genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic  data  quickly ,  resulting   in  more  accurate  and robust biomarker identification. This article ...
Essential Tools and Databases in Bioinformatics - Part 2 Bioinformatics is  a   constantly   developing   discipline   allowing researchers to analyze huge biological data sets efficiently . In Part 1 , we   discussed   key  tools for sequence alignment, phylogenetics, gene annotation, protein structure prediction, and microbiome analysis. In this second part, we  discuss advanced bioinformatics tools  applied   in  structural bioinformatics, pathway and network analysis, transcriptomics, molecular docking, and machine learning in bioinformatics. 1. Structural bioinformatics    Structural bioinformatics is   the   prediction  and  analysis   of  the three-dimensional (3D) structure of biomolecules, which  plays   an   important   role in  understanding protein function, molecular interactions, and drug design.  A   number of  tools and databases...
