Conference Object Enhancing Complex Disease Group Scoring with Mirgedinet: A Multi-Algorithm Machine Learning Framework Based on the GSM Approach(IEEE, 2025-06-25) Qumsiyeh, Emma; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Yousef, MalikIntegrating biological prior knowledge for disease gene associations has shown significant promise in discovering new biomarkers with potential translational applications. This work investigates the application of a multi-algorithm machine learning framework based on the Grouping-Scoring-Modeling (G-S-M) approach for improving the prediction of complex diseases. The study identifies the primary gene and miRNA interactions in various complex diseases with the help of miRGediNET, which is a machine-learning based tool that integrates data from three biological databases. Traditional methods have only focused on independence between features; the G-S-M method focuses on aggregating genes based on biological interactions, pinpointing the scoring of gene groups for a disease, and modeling its predictive capability using advanced machine learning algorithms. In this research paper, seven algorithms, including Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, and CatBoost, were applied to eight datasets extracted from the GEO database. This framework proved very robust in ranking gene clusters, thus predicting critical biomarkers while doing 100-fold randomized cross-validation within the evaluation. The results indicate this approach's high potential for refining disease and supporting research for choosing the best algorithm that can provide biological insights and computational advances.Conference Object Colorectal Cancer Prediction via Applying Recursive Cluster Elimination With Intra-Cluster Feature Elimination on Metagenomic Pathway Data(Springer International Publishing AG, 2024) Temiz, Mustafa; Kuzudisli, Cihan; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Gungor, BurcuAdvances in next-generation sequencing and in "-omics" technologies enable the characterization of the human gut microbiome. Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer worldwide, is caused by genetic mutations, environmental influences, and abnormalities in the gut microbiota. The aim of this study is to identify pathways that influence host metabolism in CRC patients. The CRC-related metagenomic dataset used in this study contains the relative abundance values of 551 pathways calculated for 1262 samples. Here, two different approaches based on the feature grouping reduce the number of features by considering relevant features as groups, eliminate irrelevant features, and perform classification. The recursive cluster elimination with intra-cluster feature elimination (RCE-IFE) approach achieves anAUCof 0.72 using an average of 66.2 features on CRC-associated metagenomics dataset. In these experiments, P163-PWY: L-lysine fermentation to acetate and butanoate and PWY-6151: S-adenosyl-L-methionine cycle I pathways are identified as potential biomarkers associated with CRC. These experiments also reduce the number of features reported by both approaches in P163-PWY: L-lysine fermentation to acetate and butanoate and PWY-6151: Sadenosyl-L-methionine cycle I pathways reported by both approaches are considered possible CRC-related biomarkers. This study contributes to the molecular diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer by revealing the pathways associated with CRC. Our results are promising for the study of the gut microbiota and its role in CRC.Conference Object Papiller Tiroid Karsinom Oluşumunda Etkili Moleküler Mekanizmaların İn Siliko Yöntemlerle Tespit Edilmesi(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-04) Ersöz, Nur Sebnem; Guzel, Yasin; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuRepresenting approximately 70% to 80% of thyroid cancers, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancers. PTC is seen in all age groups, but it is seen more frequently in women than in men. Detection of biomarker proteins of papillary thyroid cancinoma plays an important role in the diagnosis of the disease. In this study, we aim to find target genes and pathways that are associated with papillar thyroid carcinoma, by integrating different bioinformatics methods. For this purpose, usingin-silico methodologies, candidate genes and pathways that could explain disease development mechanisms are identified. Throughout this study, firstly we identified differentially expressed genes as the amount of their protein product differ between patient and healthy groups. Secondly, by using active subnetworks search algorithms, topologic analyses and functional enrichment tests, candidate proteins,which could be thought as PTC biomarkers, and affected pathways are identified. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
