Abstract
Multi-omics data play a crucial role in precision medicine, mainly to understand the diverse biological interaction between different omics. Machine learning approaches have been extensively employed in this context over the years. This review aims to comprehensively summarize and categorize these advancements, focusing on the integration of multi-omics data, which includes genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, alongside clinical data. We discuss various machine learning techniques and computational methodologies used for integrating distinct omics datasets and provide valuable insights into their application. The review emphasizes both the challenges and opportunities present in multi-omics data integration, precision medicine and patient stratification, offering practical recommendations for method selection in various scenarios. Recent advances in deep learning and network-based approaches are also explored, highlighting their potential to harmonize diverse biological information layers. Additionally, we present a roadmap for the integration of multi-omics data in precision oncology, outlining the advantages, challenges and implementation difficulties. Hence this review offers a thorough overview of current literature, providing researchers with insights into machine learning techniques for patient stratification, particularly in precision oncology.

期刊介绍:
Briefings in Functional Genomics publishes high quality peer reviewed articles that focus on the use, development or exploitation of genomic approaches, and their application to all areas of biological research. As well as exploring thematic areas where these techniques and protocols are being used, articles review the impact that these approaches have had, or are likely to have, on their field. Subjects covered by the Journal include but are not restricted to: the identification and functional characterisation of coding and non-coding features in genomes, microarray technologies, gene expression profiling, next generation sequencing, pharmacogenomics, phenomics, SNP technologies, transgenic systems, mutation screens and genotyping. Articles range in scope and depth from the introductory level to specific details of protocols and analyses, encompassing bacterial, fungal, plant, animal and human data.
The editorial board welcome the submission of review articles for publication. Essential criteria for the publication of papers is that they do not contain primary data, and that they are high quality, clearly written review articles which provide a balanced, highly informative and up to date perspective to researchers in the field of functional genomics.
