Mouse is the primary model organism to study mammalian genetics. The genome of mouse is incisively and specifically modified and controlled to study the mutations in the human genome, to discover the molecular mechanisms of various complex human diseases such as cancers, diabetes, hereditary and neurological disorders. Various ontology systems have been constructed to express metabolic functions and diseases as controlled vocabulary terms. This way, abstract definitions such as gene functions, diseases or phenotypes become machine readable and quantifiable data. Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MPO) is one of these databases that generates standardized terms to define phenotyping textures in mammals by carrying out gene knock out experiments in mice, which was followed by the observation of abnormal phenotypes. v In a previous study, biological networks were designed to analyse the relationships between complex human diseases and the genes responsible for the occurrence of those diseases. Human disease network focused on 22 different disease classes and brought insight to the complex relations between different disease classes. This study aims to map the human disease network onto the mouse genotype/phenotype data by generating multi-partite networks of human diseases – human/mouse genes – phenotypic abnormalities observed in targeted knock-out-mouse models. The resulting networks are presented to the research community in an online interactive platform. The output of this work is expected to aid experimental researchers to select the appropriate targeted knock-out mouse models to study a specific human disease. Furthermore, the mappings between disease and phenotype terms is expected to enrich the ongoing efforts to curate specific symptoms and effects of diseases to improve medical diagnosis.

Application of copulas in graphical models for inference of biological systems Dokuzoğlu, Damla; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Department of Statistics (2016) Naturally, genes interact with each other by forming a complicated network and the relationship between groups of genes can be showed by different functions as gene networks. Recently, there has been a growing concern in uncovering these complex structures from gene expression data by modeling them mathematically. The Gaussian graphical model (GGM) is one of the very popular parametric approaches for modelling the underlying types of biochemical systems. In this study, we evaluate the performance of this pr...
Inference of Gene Regulatory Networks Via Multiple Data Sources and a Recommendation Method Ozsoy, Makbule Gulcin; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2015-11-12) Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are composed of biological components, including genes, proteins and metabolites, and their interactions. In general, computational methods are used to infer the connections among these components. However, computational methods should take into account the general features of the GRNs, which are sparseness, scale-free topology, modularity and structure of the inferred networks. In this work, observing the common aspects between recommendation systems and GRNs, we decided to ...
Comparing Clustering Techniques for Real Microarray Data Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2012-08-29) The clustering of genes detected as significant or differentially expressed provides useful information to biologists about functions and functional relationship of genes. There are variant types of clustering methods that can be applied in genomic data. These are mainly divided into the two groups, namely, hierarchical and partitional methods. In this paper, as the novelty, we perform a detailed clustering analysis for the recently collected boron microarray dataset to investigate biologically more interes...
Mathematical Modeling and Approximation of Gene Expression Patterns Yılmaz, Fatih; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2004-09-03) This study concerns modeling, approximation and inference of gene regulatory dynamics on the basis of gene expression patterns. The dynamical behavior of gene expressions is represented by a system of ordinary differential equations. We introduce a gene-interaction matrix with some nonlinear entries, in particular, quadratic polynomials of the expression levels to keep the system solvable. The model parameters are determined by using optimization. Then, we provide the time-discrete approximation of our time...
HPO2GO: prediction of human phenotype ontology term associations for proteins using cross ontology annotation co-occurrences Doğan, Tunca (PeerJ, 2018-8-2) Analysing the relationships between biomolecules and the genetic diseases is a highly active area of research, where the aim is to identify the genes and their products that cause a particular disease due to functional changes originated from mutations. Biological ontologies are frequently employed in these studies, which provides researchers with extensive opportunities for knowledge discovery through computational data analysis. In this study, a novel approach is proposed for the identification of relatio...
