Gene-environment network studies rely on data originating from different disciplines such as chemistry, biology, psychology or social sciences. Sophisticated regulatory models are required for a deeper investigation of the unknown and hidden functional relationships between genetic and environmental factors. At the same time, various kinds of uncertainty can arise and interfere with the system's evolution. The aim of this study is to go beyond traditional stochastic approaches and to propose a novel framework of semialgebraic gene-environment networks. Foundation is laid for future research, methodology and application. This approach is a natural extension of interconnected systems based on stochastic, polyhedral, ellipsoidal or fuzzy (linguistic) uncertainty. It allows for a reconstruction of the underlying network from uncertain (semialgebraic) data sets and for a prediction of the uncertain futures states of the system. In addition, aspects of network pruning for large regulatory systems in genome-wide studies are discussed leading to mixed-integer programming (MIP) and continuous programming.

Assessment of antimicrobial and coagulant activities of CBRN decontamination materials
Tosun, Barış Çağrı; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2022-2)
CBRN Defense is an emerging interdisciplinary branch of science that combines physics, chemistry and biology together in a unique and complementary way. Concept of decontamination, which is a necessity to neutralize or reduce the spread of contaminants, is one of the key topics in this area of study, and many of the commercially available products are in liquid form and mainly intended to be used for decontamination of environment and equipments. Material used in this study is in powder form that is not dis...
On optimization, dynamics and uncertainty: A tutorial for gene-environment networks
WEBER, G. -W.; Uğur, Ömür; Taylan, P.; TEZEL, AYSUN (2009-05-28)
An emerging research area in computational biology and biotechnology is devoted to mathematical modeling and prediction of gene-expression patterns; to fully understand its foundations requires a mathematical study. This paper surveys and mathematically expands recent advances in modeling and prediction by rigorously introducing the environment and aspects of errors and uncertainty into the genetic context within the framework of matrix and interval arithmetic. Given the data from DNA microarray experiments...
Criteria for the Evaluation of Workflow Management Systems for Scientific Data Analysis
Dilan Kiran, Aleyna; Ay, Mehmet Can; Alllmer, Jens (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10)
Many scientific endeavors, such as molecular biology, have become dependent on largescale data and its analysis. For example, precision medicine depends on molecular measurements and data analysis on a per-patient basis. Data analysis, supporting medical decisions, has to be standardized and performed in a consistent manner across patients. While perhaps not life-threatening, data analyses in basic research have become increasingly complex. RNA-seq data, for example, entails a multi-step analysis ranging fr...
Optimization and dynamics of gene-environment networks with intervals
Uğur, Ömür (2007-05-01)
There are a few areas of science and technology which are only as challenging, emerging and promising as computational biology. This area is looking for its mathematical foundations, for methods of prediction while guaranteeing robustness, and it is of a rigorous interdisciplinary nature. In this paper, we deepen and extend the approach of learning gene-expression patterns in the framework of gene-environment networks by optimization, especially, generalized semi-infinite optimization (GSIP). With respect t...
What predicts exam scores in science classes with online practice supplement at secondary education: a learning analytics study via chaid
Nalça, Ceylan; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Sacip, Toker; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2021-2-15)
In this study, within the scope of Learning Analytics; in a determined Learning Management System, the performance of the first semester Science exam of 6491students studying in the 5th,6th, 7thand 8thgrades among different private schools in Turkey and the variables that affect the exam performance are predicted. For the analysis of the study, Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) classification technique, which is one of the decision tree methods, offere...
