Genome wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify genomic variance associated with certain disease conditions. Major bottleneck of standard GWAS approaches are the prioritization and subset selection after the statistically significant SNPs are determined. Our group has recently developed an analysis pipeline, where p-value and combined p value statistics are integrated with the novel AHP based SNP prioritization algorithm for the detailed analysis of associated SNPs considering statistical significance and biological relevance. Following this pipeline, we have done the GWAS of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) on ADNI SNP genotyping data set where 148 AD cases and 182 controls are investigated. Among the top 100 SNPs 18 of them mapped to AD linked genes. Additionally further analysis of the gene and pathway results suggested new associations, providing basis for new hypothesis for the AD Biomarker research. © 2012 IEEE.

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) determine susceptibility profiles for complex diseases. In this study, GWAS was performed in 26 patients with oligo and rheumatoid factor negative polyarticular juvenile idiopathic artritis (JIA) and their healthy parents by Affymetrix 250K SNP arrays. Biological function and pathway enrichment analysis was done. This is the first GWAS reported for JIA families from the eastern Mediterranean population. Enrichment of Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis pathway and respons...
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...
GLANET: genomic loci annotation and enrichment tool
Otlu, Burcak; Firtina, Can; Keles, Sunduz; Tastan, Oznur (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-09-15)
Motivation: Genomic studies identify genomic loci representing genetic variations, transcription factor (TF) occupancy, or histone modification through next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Interpreting these loci requires evaluating them with known genomic and epigenomic annotations.
Dempster-Schafer Method in Family Based Association Studies
Rajabli, Farid; Goktas, Unal; İnan, Gül (2012-11-03)
In experiments designed for family-based association studies, methods such as transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) require large number of trios to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the disease. However, unavailability of large number of trios is the Achilles' heel of many complex disease studies, especially for the late-onset diseases since parents might have passed away or unavailable. This problem motivated us to look for new approaches that require smaller number of trios...
RANKPCSF: A DISEASE MODULE IDENTIFICATION METHOD BY INTEGRATING NETWORK PROPAGATION WITH PRIZE-COLLECTING STEINER FOREST
Eskin, Arda; Otlu Sarıtaş, Burçak; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Department of Bioinformatics (2022-9-2)
Identification of disease modules may lead to a better understanding on the progression of diseases, finding more accurate biomarkers, and drug targets. In this study, we develop a hybrid method – RANKPCSF- combining the strength of Steiner tree and diffusion approaches and release a new network reconstruction approach. RANKPCSF is capable to integrate multi-omic data (including phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic) with a reference interactome to unveil the optimal disease-associated network. We have compar...
