DNA arrays have become a major bioanalytical method as they enable high-throughput screening and they can be manufactured on different surfaces depending on the nature of diagnostic purpose. However, current technologies to produce and detect arrays of DNA probes are expensive due to the requirement of specialized instrumentation. In this study we have established an array platform in sandwich hybridization format for the detection of label-free nucleic acid targets. Unlike direct hybridization, which is the main microarray hybridization principle, sandwich assay enables unlabeled target detection, lowering the cost and assay time. To this end, sequence specific signal development was achieved by a sandwich complex which is composed of a surface immobilized capture DNA probe (Probe1) and a fluorescein-tagged signal DNA probe (Probe 2), which are partially complementary to the sequence to be analyzed (target oligonucleotide). As the solid support of the array platform both 3-aminopropyl-3-methoxysilane (APTMS) activated and commercially purchased poly-L lysine coated glass slides were used and due to the less background noise property the latter one was preferred. Similarly, for the immobilization of the capture Probe (P1) onto the solid support two different methods were tried; heat immobilization and immobilization via a heterobifunctional cross-linker (HBCL). In regard to the experiments, it is observed that using a cross-linker instead of heat immobilization reduces the ratio of false negative control results in a significant manner. Following the solid support and immobilization method choice comparative optimization studies which include cross-linker type, probe concentration, sensitivity of the platform and hybridization conditions (sequence, temperature and duration) were conducted. Optimum hybridization signal was obtained with a 32.5 Ǻ cross-linker, 10 µM capture and 20 µM signal probe concentrations at 35°C. Finally, in order to evaluate the specificity of the array system a cocktail of target DNA were applied to the system on which different capture probes of those target DNAs were immobilized. The results indicated that the optimized array system is specific enough to detect only the target oligonucleotide yet the unspecific ones.

Development of an oligonucleotide based sandwich array platform for the detection of transgenic elements from plant sources using labal-free PCR products
Gül, Fatma; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Eyidoğan, Füsun İnci; Department of Biotechnology (2010)
Advances in DNA micro and macroarray technologies made these high-throughput systems good candidates for the development of cheaper, faster and easier qualitative and quantitative detection methods. In this study, a simple and cost effective sandwich hybridization-based method has been developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of various unmodified recombinant elements in transgenic plants. Attention was first focused on the optimization of conditions such as time, concentration and temperature using ...
An ilp-based concept discovery system for multi-relational data mining
Kavurucu, Yusuf; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Multi Relational Data Mining has become popular due to the limitations of propositional problem definition in structured domains and the tendency of storing data in relational databases. However, as patterns involve multiple relations, the search space of possible hypothesis becomes intractably complex. In order to cope with this problem, several relational knowledge discovery systems have been developed employing various search strategies, heuristics and language pattern limitations. In this thesis, Induct...
Measurement of the Isolated Prompt Photon Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at root s=7 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (2011-02-01)
The differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons has been measured as a function of the photon transverse energy E-T(Gamma) in pp collisions at root s 7 TeV using data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 pb(-1). Photons are required to have a pseudorapidity vertical bar eta(gamma)vertical bar 21 GeV, covering the kinematic region 0.006 < x(T) < 0.086. The measured cross section is found to be in agreem...
Search for Pair Production of a Heavy Up-Type Quark Decaying to a W Boson and a b Quark in the lepton plus jets Channel with the ATLAS Detector
Aad, G.; et. al. (2012-06-26)
A search is presented for production of a heavy up-type quark (t') together with its antiparticle, assuming subsequent decay to a W boson and a b quark, t'(t) over bar' -> W(+)bW(-)(b) over bar. The search is based on 1.04 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analyzed in the lepton + jets final state, characterized by a high transverse momentum isolated electron or muon, high missing transverse momentum, and at least...
Development of algorithms and software for forecasting, nowcasting and variability of TEC
Tulunay, E; Senalp, ET; Cander, LR; Tulunay, YK; Bilge, AH; Mizrahi, E; Kouris, SS; Jakowski, N (2004-01-01)
Total Electron Content (TEC) is an important characteristic of the ionosphere relevant to communications. Unpredictable variability of the ionospheric parameters due to various disturbances limits the efficiencies of communications, radar and navigation systems. Therefore forecasting and nowcasting of TEC are important in the planning and operation of Earth-space and satellite-to-satellite communication systems. Near-Earth space processes are complex being highly nonlinear and time varying with random varia...
