Abstract
The rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed numerous scientific domains, including biology, where a vast and complex volume of data is available for analysis. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of AI-driven methodologies in genomics, proteomics, and systems biology. We discuss how machine learning algorithms, particularly deep learning models, have enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of embedding sequences, motif discovery, and the prediction of gene expression and protein structure. Additionally, we explore the integration of AI in the embedding and analysis of biological networks, including protein-protein interaction networks and multi-layered networks. By leveraging large-scale biological data, AI techniques have enabled unprecedented insights into complex biological processes and disease mechanisms. This work underlines the potential of applying AI to complex biological data, highlighting current applications and suggesting directions for future research to further explore AI in this rapidly evolving field.
