Proteome analysis using machine learning approaches and its applications to diseases.

With the tremendous developments in the fields of biological and medical technologies, huge amounts of data are generated in the form of genomic data, images in medical databases or as data on protein sequences, and so on. Analyzing this data through different tools sheds light on the particulars of the disease and our body's reactions to it, thus, aiding our understanding of the human health. Most useful of these tools is artificial intelligence and deep learning (DL). The artificially created neural networks in DL algorithms help extract viable data from the datasets, and further, to recognize patters in these complex datasets. Therefore, as a part of machine learning, DL helps us face all the various challenges that come forth during protein prediction, protein identification and their quantification. Proteomics is the study of such proteins, their structures, features, properties and so on. As a form of data science, Proteomics has helped us progress excellently in the field of genomics technologies. One of the major techniques used in proteomics studies is mass spectrometry (MS). However, MS is efficient with analysis of large datasets only with the added help of informatics approaches for data analysis and interpretation; these mainly include machine learning and deep learning algorithms. In this chapter, we will discuss in detail the applications of deep learning and various algorithms of machine learning in proteomics.
