description The increasing complexity of biological systems demands advanced analytical approaches to decode the underlying mechanisms of health and disease. Integrative multi-omics approaches use multi-layered datasets such as genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data to understand biological processes much more comprehensively compared to the single-omics analysis and to provide a comprehensive view of cellular and molecular processes. However, these integrative approaches have their own computational and analytical challenges due to the large volume and nature of multi-omics data. Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool to help and resolve these challenges. It offers sophisticated algorithms that can identify and discover hidden patterns and provide insights into complex biological networks. By integrating machine learning in multi-omics, we can enhance our understanding of drug discovery, disease, pathway, and network analysis. Machine learning and ensemble methods allow researchers to model nonlinear relationships and manage high-dimensional data, improving the precision of predictions. This approach paves the way for personalized medicine by identifying unique molecular signatures for individual patients, which can provide valuable insights into treatment planning and support more effective treatment. As machine learning continues to evolve, its role in multi-omics analysis will be pivotal in advancing our ability to interpret biological complexity and translate findings into clinical applications.
