The biological organism is a complex structure regulated by interactions of genes and proteins. Various linear and nonlinear models can define activations of these interactions. In this study, we have aimed to improve the Gaussian graphical model (GGM), which is one of the well-known probabilistic and parametric models describing steady-state activations of biological systems, and its inference based on the graphical lasso, shortly Glasso, method. Because, GGM with Glasso can have low accuracy when the system has many genes and data are far from the normal distribution. Hereby, we construct the model like GGM, but, suggest the long-tailed symmetric distribution (LTS), rather than the normality, and use the modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimator, rather than Glasso, in inference. From the assessment of simulated and real data analyses, it is seen that LTS with MML has higher accuracy and less computational demand with explicit expressions than results of GGM with Glasso.

Bayesian inference for the MAPK/ERK pathway by considering the dependency of the kinetic parameters Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2008-01-01) The MAPK/ERK pathway is one of the major signal transduction systems which regulates the cellular growth control of all eukaryotes like the cell proliferation and the apoptosis. Because of its importance in cellular lifecycle, it has been studied intensively, resulting in a number of qualitative descriptions of this regulatory mechanism. In this study we describe the MAPK/ERK pathway as an explicit set of reactions by combining different sources. Our reaction set takes into account the localization and diff...
A new outlier detection method based on convex optimization: application to diagnosis of Parkinson's disease TAYLAN, PAKİZE; Yerlikaya-Ozkurt, Fatma; Bilgic Ucak, Burcu; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2020-12-01) Neuroscience is a combination of different scientific disciplines which investigate the nervous system for understanding of the biological basis. Recently, applications to the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease have become very promising by considering different statistical regression models. However, well-known statistical regression models may give misleading results for the diagnosis of the neurodegenerative diseases when experimental data contain outlier observations that l...
An evaluation of a novel approach for clustering genes with dissimilar replicates Cinar, Ozan; İyigün, Cem; İlk Dağ, Özlem (Informa UK Limited, 2020-12-01) Clustering the genes is a step in microarray studies which demands several considerations. First, the expression levels can be collected as time-series which should be accounted for appropriately. Furthermore, genes may behave differently in different biological replicates due to their genetic backgrounds. Highlighting such genes may deepen the study; however, it introduces further complexities for clustering. The third concern stems from the existence of a large amount of constant genes which demands a hea...
Integration of topological measures for eliminating non-specific interactions in protein interaction networks BAYIR, Murat Ali; GUNEY, Tacettin Dogacan; Can, Tolga (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-28) High-throughput protein interaction assays aim to provide a comprehensive list of interactions that govern the biological processes in a cell. These large-scale sets of interactions, represented as protein-protein interaction networks, are often analyzed by computational methods for detailed biological interpretation. However, as a result of the tradeoff between speed and accuracy, the interactions reported by high-throughput techniques occasionally include non-specific (i.e., false-positive) interactions. ...
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 ...
