Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) is a DNA sequence variation that occurs when a single nucleotide differs between members of a biological species or paired chromosomes in an individual. Studies on SNP data are important for scientists to shed light on identifying genetic variations underlying complex diseases. While recent advances in high-throughput genotyping technologies are resulting in data accumulation at large scales, the need for collection and service of this data under a standard format and globally normalized and structured metadata that houses the structured SNP data is becoming essential. Here, we present iSNP that is a regularly updated, machine curated database that holds SNP and its associated metadata from publicly available databases under a structured standard format that can be efficiently utilized within different applications. © 2012 IEEE.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) is a variation which occurs after a nucleotide mutates between members of a species or paired chromosomes in DNA sequence. SNP data is especially important for identifying genetic variations underlying complex diseases. The need for collection and service of this data under a standard format and globally normalized and structured metadata that houses the structured SNP data is becoming more important while recent advances in high-throughput genotyping technologies are re...
Inference of large-scale networks via statistical approaches
Ayyıldız Demirci, Ezgi; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Department of Statistics (2019)
In system biology, the interactions between components such as genes, proteins, can be represented by a network. To understand the molecular mechanism of complex biological systems, construction of their networks plays a crucial role. However, estimation of these networks is a challenging problem because of their high dimensional and sparse structures. The Gaussian graphical model (GGM) is widely used approach to construct the undirected networks. GGM define the interactions between species by using the con...
Abiotic stress tolerance and growth responses of transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) plants expressing rice Osmyb4 gene
AYDIN, GÜLSÜM; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2012-09-23)
MYB transcription factors are involved in diverse biochemical and physiological processes such as regulation of secondary metabolism, meristem formation, cell morphogenesis and floral and seed development. They are also involved in certain defence and stress responses and in hormone signalling. In the present study, we developed transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) expressing Oryza sativa myb4 gene, encoding MYB4 transcription factor, driven by either CaMV35S constitutive promoter or cold i...
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 ...
Intergenic and Repeat Transcription in Human, Chimpanzee and Macaque Brains Measured by RNA-Seq

Transcription is the first step connecting genetic information with an organism's phenotype. While expression of annotated genes in the human brain has been characterized extensively, our knowledge about the scope and the conservation of transcripts located outside of the known genes' boundaries is limited. Here, we use high-throughput transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) to characterize the total non-ribosomal transcriptome of human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque brain. In all species, only 20-28% of non-ri...
