Deep Learning for Genomics: Data-driven approaches for genomics applications in life sciences and biotechnology

Learn concepts, methodologies, and applications of deep learning for building predictive models from complex genomics data sets to overcome challenges in the life sciences and biotechnology industriesKey FeaturesApply deep learning algorithms to solve real-world problems in the field of genomicsExtract biological insights from deep learning models built from genomic datasetsTrain, tune, evaluate, deploy, and monitor deep learning models for enabling predictions in genomicsBook DescriptionDeep learning has shown remarkable promise in the field of genomics; however, there is a lack of a skilled deep learning workforce in this discipline. This book will help researchers and data scientists to stand out from the rest of the crowd and solve real-world problems in genomics by developing the necessary skill set. Starting with an introduction to the essential concepts, this book highlights the power of deep learning in handling big data in genomics. First, you'll learn about conventional genomics analysis, then transition to state-of-the-art machine learning-based genomics applications, and finally dive into deep learning approaches for genomics. The book covers all of the important deep learning algorithms commonly used by the research community and goes into the details of what they are, how they work, and their practical applications in genomics. The book dedicates an entire section to operationalizing deep learning models, which will provide the necessary hands-on tutorials for researchers and any deep learning practitioners to build, tune, interpret, deploy, evaluate, and monitor deep learning models from genomics big data sets.By the end of this book, you'll have learned about the challenges, best practices, and pitfalls of deep learning for genomics.What you will learnDiscover the machine learning applications for genomicsExplore deep learning concepts and methodologies for genomics applicationsUnderstand supervised deep learning algorithms for genomics applicationsGet to grips with unsupervised deep learning with autoencodersImprove deep learning models using generative modelsOperationalize deep learning models from genomics datasetsVisualize and interpret deep learning modelsUnderstand deep learning challenges, pitfalls, and best practicesWho this book is forThis deep learning book is for machine learning engineers, data scientists, and academicians practicing in the field of genomics.
