New and diverse groups of noncoding RNAs are beginning to be discovered. These noncoding RNAs are grouped based on their sizes, genomic positions, or distinctive functions ranging from the regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression to genome stability maintenance. Among noncoding RNAs, microRNAs are the best studied and understood small RNAs with direct and indirect roles in normal and in cancer cells. Given the high rate of transcription from noncoding parts of the genome, other noncoding elements are also of great interest. It is also of interest to understand that there may be interesting cases of crosstalk and/ or coregulation between the noncoding and the coding portion of the genome. Therefore, deregulated expression of noncoding RNAs can be considered to cause significant alterations in cancer cells. The complexities of the genome and transcriptome still remain mesmerizing. As we better understand these complexities, we will be able to improve our understanding of human conditions and will hopefully develop tools to improve the ways in which we deal with diseases, particularly cancer. Here, based on recent findings, we provide a descriptive profile of noncoding RNA classes, their roles, and their potential contributions to the complex events of tumorigenesis.

Planktonic foraminiferal diversity and abundance changes across cretaceous-paleogene boundary beds in the Haymana basin and new observations on the extinction horizon Karabeyoğlu, Ali Uygar; Altıner, Sevinç; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2017) Abundance and diversity patterns in planktonic foraminifera are important for paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic interpretations before and after the CretaceousPaleogene mass extinction. A 14,53 m thick section was measured crossing the boundary between the Haymana Formation and the Yeşilyurt Formation in the northern part of the Haymana Basin. In the last 3.75 meters of the Maastrichtian below the K-Pg boundary, a series of quantitative analyses were carried out on planktonic foraminifera found above 63 ...
Genotype and allele frequencies of polymorphic CYP2E1 in the Turkish population Ulusoy, Gulen; Arinc, Emel; Adalı, Orhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01) Cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) gene shows genetic polymorphisms that vary markedly in frequency among different ethnic and racial groups. We studied the genotype distributions and allele frequencies of three CYP2E1 polymorphisms: CYP2E1*5B (RsaI/PstI RFLP, C-1053T/G-1293C SNP, rs2031920 /rs3813867), CYP2E1*6 (DraI RFLP, T7632A SNP, rs6413432), and CYP2E1*7B (DdeI RFLP, G-71T SNP, rs6413420) by PCR/RFLP technique in a sample of 206 healthy subjects representing Turkish population. CYP2E1*5B polymorphism analysi...
Opportunities and Challenges of Multiomics Analysis Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya (2019-06-20) The multiomics approach by converging diverse omics aspects into a single platform isgetting attention as a new future. The interrelation of different data layers has beenshown to provide multidimensional insights into the biological processes. Through sucha combinatorial approach it becomes much easier to determine the functionalrelationships between different data sets. However, it is a challenging approach dueto differences in experimental design, analytical platform and data size. But theresulting inter...
Optimum and suboptimum blind channel and symbol estimation for SISO channels Tuncer, Temel Engin (2004-12-01) We present three methods for blind channel and symbol identification from a single or multi-block observation. These methods are deterministic approaches suitable for the identification of quickly changing wireless channels. The first method uses the finite alphabet property and it has good performance even for noisy observations. It requires only a single data frame, which is a unique feature of the method. This method can also be used to identify the channel order. For multi-block observations, we present...
Event Detection on Communities: Tracking the Change in Community Structure within Temporal Communication Networks Aktunç, Rıza; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar (Springer, Cham, 2020-01-01) In this work, we focus on social interactions in communities in order to detect events. There are several previous efforts for the event detection problem based on analyzing the change in the network structure in terms of the overall network features. However, in this work, event detection is considered as a problem of change detection in community structures. Particularly, communities extracted from communication network are focused on, and various versions of the community change detection methods are dev...
