The problem of identifying genes in eukaryotic genomic sequences by computational methods has attracted considerable research attention in recent years. Many early approaches to the problem focused on prediction of individual functional elements and compositional properties of coding and non coding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in entire eukaryotic gene structures. More recently, a number of approaches has been developed which integrate multiple types of information including structure, function and genetic properties of proteins. Knowledge of the structure of a protein is essential for describing and understanding its function. In addition, subcellular localization of a protein can be used to provide some amount of characterization of a protein. In this study, a method for the prediction of protein subcellular localization based on primary sequence data is described. Primary sequence data for a protein is based on amino acid sequence. The frequency value for each amino acid is computed in one given position. Assigned frequencies are used in a new encoding scheme that conserves biological information based on point accepted mutations (PAM) substitution matrix. This method can be used to predict the nuclear, the cytosolic sequences, the mitochondrial targeting peptides (mTP) and the signal peptides (SP). For clustering purposes, other than well known traditional techniques,

A Hierarchical representation and decoding of fMRI data by partitioning a brain network Moğultay, Hazal; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) In this study, we propose a hierarchical network representation of human brain extracted from fMRI data. This representation consists of two levels. In the first level, we form a network among the voxels, smallest building block of fMRI data. In the second level, we define a set of supervoxels by partitioning the first level network into a set of subgraphs, which are assu med to represent homogeneous brain regions with respect to a predefined criteria. For this purpose, we develop a novel brain parcellation...
Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions from the Molecular to the Proteome Level Keskin, Ozlem; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Gursoy, Attila (2016-04-27) Identification of protein protein interactions (PPIs) is at the center of molecular biology considering the unquestionable role of proteins in cells. Combinatorial interactions result in a repertoire of multiple functions; hence, knowledge of PPI and binding regions naturally serve to functional proteomics and drug discovery. Given experimental limitations to find all interactions in a proteome, computational prediction/modeling of protein interactions is a prerequisite to proceed on the way to complete int...
New dimension reduction technique for brain decoding Afrasiyabi, Arman; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015) A new architecture for dimension reduction, analyzing and decoding the discriminative information, distributed in function Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. This architecture called Sparse Temporal Mesh Model (STMM) which consists of three phases with a visualization tool. In phase A, a univariate voxel selection method, based on the assumption that voxels are independent, is used to select the informative voxels among the whole brain voxels. For this purpose, one of feature selection met...
DETERMINATION OF SELENIUM IN BIOLOGICAL MATRICES USING A KINETIC CATALYTIC METHOD GOKMEN, IG; ABDELQADER, E (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 1994-04-01) A simple and sensitive catalytic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of selenium in biological matrices. The method is based on the catalytic effect of selenium on the reaction of Methylene Blue (MB) with sodium sulfide. For a given reaction between MB and sodium sulfide, the change in the MB absorbance with time was monitored, then the time (t) required for completion of the reaction was determined, and t(-1) was calculated. A plot of t(-1) versus selenium concentration constitute...
Effect of Voxel Selection on Temporal Mesh Model for Brain Decoding Afrasiyabi, Arman; Onal, Itir; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-05-19) In this study, we combine a voxel selection method with temporal mesh model to decode the discriminative information distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. We first employ one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) feature selection to select the most informative voxels. Then, we form meshes around selected voxels with their spatial and functional neighbors by employing the Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (MM-TM). We estimate the arc weights of meshes, which represent the relation...
