Nowadays, Next Generation Sequeencing (NGS) is a catch-all term used to describe different modern DNA sequencing applications that produce big genomics data that can be analysed in a faster fashion than in the past. For this reason, NGS requires more and more sophisticated algorithms and high-performance parallel processing systems able to analyse and extract knowledge from a huge amount of genomics and molecular data. In this context, researchers are beginning to look at emerging deep learning algorithms able to perform efficient big data analytics. In this paper, we analyse and classify the major current deep learning solutions that allow biotechnology researchers to perform big genomics data analytics. Moreover, by means of a taxonomic analysis, we provide a clear picture of the current state of the art also discussing future challenges.

Abstract
Nowadays, Next Generation Sequeencing (NGS) is a catch-all term used to describe different modern DNA sequencing applications that produce big genomics data that can be analysed in a faster fashion than in the past. For this reason, NGS requires more and more sophisticated algorithms and high-performance parallel processing systems able to analyse and extract knowledge from a huge amount of genomics and molecular data. In this context, researchers are beginning to look at emerging deep learning algorithms able to perform efficient big data analytics. In this paper, we analyse and classify the major current deep learning solutions that allow biotechnology researchers to perform big genomics data analytics. Moreover, by means of a taxonomic analysis, we provide a clear picture of the current state of the art also discussing future challenges.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
