The problem of identifying significantly differentially expressed genes for replicated microarray experiments is accepted as significant and has been tackled by several researchers. Patterns from Gene Expression (PaGE) and q-values are two of the well-known approaches developed to handle this problem. This paper proposes a powerful approach to handle this problem. We first propose a method for estimating the prior probabilities used in the first version of the PaGE algorithm. This way, the problem definition of PaGE stays intact and we just estimate the needed prior probabilities. Our estimation method is similar to Storey's estimator without being its direct extension. Then, we modify the problem formulation to find significantly differentially expressed genes and present an efficient method for finding them. This formulation increases the power by directly incorporating Storey's estimator. We report the preliminary results on the BRCA data set to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of our approach.

A novel approach for small sample size family-based association studies: sequential tests İlk Dağ, Özlem; Dungul, Dilay Ciglidag; ÖZDAĞ, Hilal; İLK, HAKKI GÖKHAN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01) In this paper, we propose a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) to overcome the problem of limited samples in studies related to complex genetic diseases. The results of this novel approach are compared with the ones obtained from the traditional transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) on simulated data. Although TDT classifies single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to only two groups (SNPs associated with the disease and the others), SPRT has the flexibility of assigning SNPs to a third group, that is,...
Development of a genetic material transfer approach for gene therapy Ayaz, Şerife; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2005) This thesis is focused on the development of a gene delivery system, especially for the purpose of DNA vaccination. DNA expression vectors have the potential to be useful therapeutics for a wide variety of applications. A carrier system was designed to realize the delivery of genes to cells and the promotion of controlled adequate expression in the target cells. The low gene delivery efficiency observed with systems composed of polyplexes is mainly due to low stability of polycation e.g polyethylenimine-DNA...
Cloning and characterization of industrially important alpha-galactosidase genes from the human pathogen aspergillus fumigatus Söyler, U. Betül; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Food Engineering (2004) In this study, molecular cloning studies were performed on the a-galactosidase genes of Aspergillus fumigatus IMI 385708. This organism is an opportunistic saprophytic fungus and a human pathogen, mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. A. fumigatus is a thermotolerant fungus and can efficiently produce thermostable a-galactosidase. Two different cloning strategies were undertaken in this study. A. fumigatus cDNA library, prepared previously, was screened with three different probes. No net results wer...
Development of PCR methods for detection and quantification of genetically modified maize Jabbari Farhoud, Houman; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2010) This study describes development of methods for screening, identification and quantification of genetic modifications in maize samples. Totally 88 maize samples were collected randomly throughout Turkey in three years from 2006 to 2008 and were analyzed. Two maize samples that were detected as GM positive in previous studies were selected as positive controls. Following the DNA extraction by manual CTAB method, conventional PCR methods were employed for screening of genetic modifications in samples by detec...
A Divide and Conquer Approach for Construction of Large-Scale Signaling Networks from PPI and RNAi Data Using Linear Programming Ozsoy, Oyku Eren; Can, Tolga (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-07-01) Inference of topology of signaling networks from perturbation experiments is a challenging problem. Recently, the inference problem has been formulated as a reference network editing problem and it has been shown that finding the minimum number of edit operations on a reference network to comply with perturbation experiments is an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we propose an integer linear optimization (ILP) model for reconstruction of signaling networks from RNAi data and a reference network. The ILP ...
