Selecting a subset of SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism pronounced snip) that is informative and small enough to conduct association studies and reduce the experimental and analysis overhead has become an important step toward effective disease-gene association studies. In this study, we developed a novel methods for selecting Informative SNP subsets for greater association with complex disease by making use of methods of machine learning. We constructed an integrated system that makes use of major public databases to prioritize SNPs according to their functional effects and finds SNPs that are closely associated with genes which are proven to be associated with a particular complex disease. This helped us gain insights for understanding the complex web of SNPs and gene interactions and integrate as much as possible of the molecular level data relevant to the mechanisms that link genetic variation and disease. We tested the validity and accuracy of developed model by applying it to real life case control data set and got promising results. We hope that results of this study will support timely diagnosis, personalized treatments, and targeted drug design, through facilitating reliable identification of SNPs that are involved in the etiology of complex diseases.

Probing the structural impacts of arg388 replacements in pkp2 protein complex: spesific case in arvc Kutlu, Aslı; Şahin, Şuara; Özkan, Mehmet Emre; Ulukaya, Engin (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) In this study, we aimed to probe the roles of missense variants in PKP2 protein structures in ARVC-related clinics. Within the structure of PKP2 protein, there were many missense var-iants, whose associations with ARVC were partially reported mostly with a genetic screening approach. Especially in the position of Arg388 in PKP2 protein, 4 missense variants (Trp, Pro, Gly, and Gln) were reported but onlythe associations of Arg388Trp and Arg388Prowith ARVCwere reported as ‘pathogenic’ and others were VU...
Evaluation of genotype imputation for ancient genomes from regions underrepresented in the reference panel Çubukcu, Hande; Yet, İdil; Kılınç, Gülşah Merve (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) 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 accur...
Analysis of stress distribution in a maxillary central incisor subjected to various post and core applications Yaman, SD; Alacam, T; Yaman, Yavuz (1998-02-01) In this study, stress distribution in a maxillary central incisor that was subjected to endodontic treatment and various post and core applications was determined by using a three-dimensional finite-element method. Cast gold post and gold core and different combinations of prefabricated stainless-steel post, or a prefabricated titanium post with amalgam or composite cores were considered. In all cases, the tooth was assumed to have a porcelain crown. The primary purpose of the study was to evaluate the stre...
Analysis of immunoreactivity of NOS isoforms (nNOS, eNOS, iNOS) in hippocampus of young rats classified as good and poor learners Keçecioğlu, Ekin; Jakubowska Doğru, Ewa; Department of Biology (2012) Despite very extensive studies on molecular mechanisms of learning and memory formation it is little known about individual variation in the learning skills within a random animal population and about the differences in the brain biochemistry behind this variation. In the present study, we have focused on the expression and distribution of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), one of the molecules implemented in activity-dependent neuroplasticity, in the rat hippocampus, the structure critical for episodic memory in...
Selective Quantification of Viable Escherichia coli Bacteria in Biosolids by Quantitative PCR with Propidium Monoazide Modification Taskin, Bilgin; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Duran, Metin (American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07-01) Quantitative differentiation of live cells in biosolids samples, without the use of culturing-based approaches, is highly critical from a public health risk perspective, as recent studies have shown significant regrowth and reactivation of indicator organisms. Persistence of DNA in the environment after cell death in the range of days to weeks limits the application of DNA-based approaches as a measure of live cell density. Using selective nucleic acid intercalating dyes like ethidium monoazide (EMA) and pr...
