Abstract
The maturing development in artificial intelligence (AI) and genomics has propelled the advances in intestinal diseases including intestinal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). On the other hand, colorectal cancer is the second most deadly and the third most common type of cancer in the world according to GLOBOCAN 2020 data. The mechanisms behind IBD and IBS are still speculative. The conventional methods to identify colorectal cancer, IBD, and IBS are based on endoscopy or colonoscopy to identify lesions. However, it is invasive, demanding, and time-consuming for early-stage intestinal diseases. To address those problems, new strategies based on blood and/or human microbiome in gut, colon, or even feces were developed; those methods took advantage of high-throughput sequencing and machine learning approaches. In this review, we summarize the recent research and methods to diagnose intestinal diseases with machine learning technologies based on cell-free DNA and microbiome data generated by amplicon sequencing or whole-genome sequencing. Those methods play an important role in not only intestinal disease diagnosis but also therapy development in the near future.
