| Summary: | We start by highlighting basic concepts of both molecular biology and machine learning.
This overview focuses on the key ideas that are required to comprehend the rest of the
work, and thus, it does not attempt at providing a comprehensive review. We start
with the basis of DNA and RNA, the genetic building bricks, until the formation of
the proteins, the final actors of the genetic machinery. We also explore state-of-the-art
technologies to measure those processes along with their limitations. After introducing
the basic biological concepts, we will discuss the basics of machine learning methodologies
and some of the most important models used in recent years to solve many biological
problems.
