The rare-metal granites of the Nubian Shield are commonly associated with Nb-Ta and Sn mineralization. The magmatic and hydrothermal evolution of these granites and their relation to the Nb-Ta and Sn mineralization need further investigations. This study reports new mineral chemistry, whole rock geochemical, and Sr-Nd isotopic data for the Abu Dabbab granites in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt to provide new insights into the formation mechanisms of the granites and their associated rare-metal mineralization. The granites consist mainly of albite, orthoclase, quartz, and Li-phengite, with accessory minerals including cassiterite, columbite, tantalite, wodginite, and Hf-zircon. Geochemically, they are peraluminous with high SiO2, alkalis, Rb, Nb, Ta, Sn, F, and low contents of MgO, CaO, and P2O5. The granites are characterized by distinct rare-earth element tetrad effects (TE1,3 = 1.8-2.5), with strongly negative Eu anomalies and are extremely depleted in Ba, Sr, P, and Ti. These features imply that they are typical muscovite peraluminous highly evolved granites. Isotopically, they display positive epsilon Nd(t) values (+1.11 to +8.32) and two-stage Nd depleted model ages (tDM2) between 0.68 and 1.13 Ga, suggesting a juvenile magma source of the Neoproterozoic age. The Abu Dabbab granites could be formed by dehydration melting of muscovite-rich crustal materials followed by extensive fractional crystallization with a significant role of magmatic-hydrothermal fluids during the transitional orogenic stage of the Nubian Shield.

The Genetic Basis of Composite Spike Form in Barley and ‘Miracle-Wheat’ Poursarebani, Naser; et. al. (Genetics Society of America, 2015-7-7) Inflorescences of the tribe Triticeae, which includes wheat (Triticum sp. L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) are characterized by sessile spikelets directly borne on the main axis, thus forming a branchless spike. 'Compositum-Barley' and tetraploid 'Miracle-Wheat' (T. turgidum convar. compositum (L.f.) Filat.) display noncanonical spike-branching in which spikelets are replaced by lateral branch-like structures resembling small-sized secondary spikes. As a result of this branch formation 'Miracle-Wheat' pr...
Assessment of machine-learning- versus experimental structural models of sex-specific isoforms of linker histone H1 Uça, Merve; Dimitrov, Stefan; Kale, Seyit (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) The nucleosome is the repeating unit of chromatin and it is composed of an octamer histone core that holds together around 145 base pairs of DNA in a disc-shaped configuration. In higher eukaryotes, an additional histone, known as linker histone H1, provides further structural order by stabilizing the nucleosomal DNA termini. Histone H1 family includes seven somatic variants (H1.0 to H1.5 and H1.10) and four variants expressed only in germ cells, three of which are testisspecific (H1T, H1T2m and HILS1), and...
Studying Tunicata WBR Using Botrylloides anceps Karahan, Arzu; Öztürk, Esra; Temiz , Berivan; Blanchoud, Simon (Springer, London/Berlin , 2022-03-01) Tunicates are marine filter-feeding invertebrates that can be found worldwide and which are the closest phylogenetic group to the vertebrates (Craniata). Of particular interest, colonial tunicates are the only known chordates that can undergo Whole-Body Regeneration (WBR) via vascular budding. In Botrylloides anceps, a fully functional adult regenerates from a fragment of the vascular system in around 2 weeks after amputation. In this chapter, we present protocols to collect B. anceps colonies, confirm thei...

Investigating molecular mechanisms of TRAF7 mutations identified by genome-wide analysis Gülez, Burcu; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Günel, Murat; Department of Biotechnology (2017) Meningiomas are defined as the most common primary intracanial neoplasms which originate from meninges. Recent genomic studies identified critical driver mutations in several genes including TRAF7 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 7) . Previously, studies performed in Prof. Gunel’s laboratory suggested that mutant forms of TRAF7 protein were more stable, possibly due to change in their ubiquitination level. To begin understanding the underlying mechanisms, we looked into interaction partners of TRAF7. TRAF7 i...
