Genotype imputation decreases the need for producing high coverage genomes since it allows to generate diploid genotypes from low coverage genome sequencing data. GLIMPSE is a recently developed software for imputing low-coverage genomes and it outperforms other softwares regarding runtime and accuracy. Imputation of low coverage ancient genomes using GLIMPSE has revealed high levels of accuracy for alleles with frequency of minimum 0.02 for genomes well represented in the reference panel. However the accuracy of the imputation for the genomes from various populations that are under-represented in the reference panel is largely unknown. Here, we impute 56 low to medium coverage ancient genomes (0.25X-10X) from Turkey and neighboring regions encompassing Greece, Iran, Israel and Jordan and use 1000 Genomes Project data including genotypes of modern populations mainly from Europe, West Africa, East Asia and North America as the reference panel. We downsample two genomes with coverages >9X to coverages 0.25X, 0.5X and 1X and compute the imputation accuracy by comparing imputed data with genotyped data. The accuracy is over 0.80 for MAF over 0.05 in 0.5 and 1X imputations. We further run PCA and compute allele frequency for a set of selected imputed variants. Our analysis shows that imputation of ancient genomes which are not represented completely in the reference panel can still be promising for analysis based on alleles with minor allele frequency over 0.05. For rare alleles, to increase the accuracy as well as efficiency to use the imputed genomes in downstream population genetics analysis, addition of samples which might better represent the imputed population to the reference panel could be promising and needs further investigation.

Employing DNA barcoding as taxonomy and conservation tools for fish species censuses at the southeastern Mediterranean, a hot-spot area for biological invasion Karahan, Arzu; PAZ, Guy; STERN, Nir; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Goren, Menachem; RİNKEVİCH, Baruch (2017-04-01) This study evaluates the utility of DNA barcoding (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I; COI) as a biodiversity and conservation applied tool for identifying fish fauna from the southeastern Mediterranean (the continental coast of Israel), a hot-spot area for biological invasion, also with an eye to establish the foundation for follow-up studies that will use environmental DNA (eDNA) tracks of native and invasive species, and for the application of eDNA concepts and methodologies in nature conservatio...
ANALYSIS OF THE DIELECTROPHORETIC (DEP) SPECTRA OF BIOLOGICAL CELLS Caglayani, Zeynep; Sel, Kaan; Yalcin, Yagmur Demircan; Sukas, Ozlem Sardan; Külah, Haluk (2017-06-22) This study presents an approach for analyzing the dielectrophoretic (DEP) spectra of biological cells without ascertaining their membrane and cytoplasmic properties. DEP spectrum device with reciprocal V-shaped planar-electrodes was utilized to obtain DEP spectra information of cells. Integrating electric field simulations based on a strong theory with the experimental data enables determination of the DEP spectrum at a range of frequencies, for the first in the literature. The proposed method is tested wit...
Characterization of molecular-level changes due to MicroRNA-125B expression in breast cancer cells by spectroscopic and chemometric analysis techniques Şimşek Özek, Nihal; Severcan, Feride; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2015) MicroRNAs (miRNAs), are 22 nucleotides long, non-coding RNAs that control gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to their target mRNA’s 3’ UTRs (untranslated regions). Due to their crucial roles in various important regulatory processes and pathways, miRNAs have been implicated in disease mechanisms such as tumorigenesis, metastasis and drug resistance when their expression is deregulated. Moreover, the regulatory roles of these micromanagers have been demonstrated in the metabolism of cancer cel...
Functional Constraints on Replacing an Essential Gene with Its Ancient and Modern Homologs Kacar, Betul; Garmendia, Eva; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Andersson, Dan I.; Hughes, Diarmaid (2017-07-01) Genes encoding proteins that carry out essential informational tasks in the cell, in particular where multiple interaction partners are involved, are less likely to be transferable to a foreign organism. Here, we investigated the constraints on transfer of a gene encoding a highly conserved informational protein, translation elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), by systematically replacing the endogenous tufA gene in the Escherichia coli genome with its extant and ancestral homologs. The extant homologs represented...
Evaluating Oxygen Tensions Related to Bone Marrow and Matrix for MSC Differentiation in 2D and 3D Biomimetic Lamellar Scaffolds Sayin, Esen; Baran, Erkan Turker; Elsheikh, Ahmed; Mudera, Vivek; Cheema, Umber; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2021-04-01) The physiological O-2 microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts and the dimensionality of a substrate are known to be important in regulating cell phenotype and function. By providing the physiologically normoxic environments of bone marrow (5%) and matrix (12%), we assessed their potential to maintain stemness, induce osteogenic differentiation, and enhance the material properties in the micropatterned collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds that were produced in 2D or 3D. Expression of ost...
