Abstract: Big data and analytics is a method of examining a lot of datasets to uncover hidden patterns, market trends, and other useful business information. In a human body, the gene will generate a significant amount of data; the real challenge here is to find, collect, analyze and manage information so that we can avoid the occurrence of the illness and be healthier. Nowadays many people are losing their lives because of bacterial diseases like MRSA, CRE, etc. So we are trying to collect the data sets of a particular disease and analyze it by detecting gene mutation, which helps people to find which gene is the actual cause of the particular disease. Here we will be finding which mutation is responsible for that drug resistance. This drug resistant gene will be found out in a large population. A mutation is the permanent change of the nucleotide sequence of an organism, genetic elements, virus or extrachromosomal DNA. Errors during DNA replication results in the mutation which further undergoes error-prone repair. Through genetic recombination, mutations can involve the duplication of vast sections of DNA
