    Exploring Microbiome Signatures in Autism Spectrum Disorder via Grouping-Scoring Based Machine Learning
    (IEEE, 2025-06-25) Temiz, Mustafa; Ersoz, Nur Sebnem; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    The rapid increase in omic data production increased the importance of machine learning (ML) methods to analze these data. In particular, the use of metagenomic data in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diseases is becoming widespread. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disease that occurs in early childhood and continues lifelong. The aim of this study is to increase ML performance, reduce computational costs and achieve successful classification performance using a small number of metagenomic features. In addition, disease prediction is performed; ASD associated biomarkers are determined using the microBiomeGSM on metagenomic data. Classification is performed at three different taxonomic levels (genus, family and order) using the relative abundance values of species. The best performance metric (0.95 AUC) was obtained at the order taxonomic level using an average of 416 features with microBiomeGSM. The identified ASD-related taxonomic species are presented.

    Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes Using Metagenomic Data and Identification of Taxonomic Biomarkers
    (IEEE, 2024-05-15) Temiz, Mustafa; Kuzudisli, Cihan; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    Nowadays, different molecular levels of -omics data on diseases are generated and analyzing these data with machine learning methods is one of the popular research topics. Among these data, the use of metagenomic data to facilitate the diagnosis, detection and treatment of diseases is increasing day by day. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and progressive dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells. While the number of people with diabetes is increasing by around 8% annually, the cost of treating the disease is rising by 18% per year. Therefore, the number of studies on the diagnosis, development and progression of T2D is increasing over time. The aim of this study is to achieve higher machine learning performance by using fewer metagenomic features and to achieve better classification performance by reducing computational costs. In this study, we compare the performance of three different methods using T2D-related metagenomic data. First, the MetaPhlAn tool is used to calculate the taxonomic species and their relative abundances in each sample. The SVM-RCE, RCE-IFE and microBiomeGSM tools used in this study are methods that perform classification by grouping and scoring features and are known to work well on complex datasets. In this study, the best results were obtained with the RCE-IFE tool with an AUC of 0.72 with an average of 125 features information. In addition, key taxonomic species identified by these tools as associated with T2D are presented in comparison to the literature.

    Prediction of Colorectal Cancer Based on Taxonomic Levels of Microorganisms and Discovery of Taxonomic Biomarkers Using the Grouping-Scoring (G-S-M) Approach
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-03) Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Temiz, Mustafa; Canakcimaksutoglu, Beyza; Yousef, Malik
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally. The human gut microbiome plays an important role in the development of CRC and serves as a biomarker for early detection and treatment. This research effort focuses on the identification of potential taxonomic biomarkers of CRC using a grouping-based feature selection method. Additionally, this study investigates the effect of incorporating biological domain knowledge into the feature selection process while identifying CRC-associated microorganisms. Conventional feature selection techniques often fail to leverage existing biological knowledge during metagenomic data analysis. To address this gap, we propose taxonomy-based Grouping Scoring Modeling (G-S-M) method that integrates biological domain knowledge into feature grouping and selection. In this study, using metagenomic data related to CRC, classification is performed at three taxonomic levels (genus, family and order). The MetaPhlAn tool is employed to determine the relative abundance values of species in each sample. Comparative performance analyses involve six feature selection methods and four classification algorithms. When experimented on two CRC associated metagenomics datasets, the highest performance metric, yielding an AUC of 0.90, is observed at the genus taxonomic level. At this level, 7 out of top 10 groups (Parvimonas, Peptostreptococcus, Fusobacterium, Gemella, Streptococcus, Porphyromonas and Solobacterium) were commonly identified for both datasets. Moreover, the identified microorganisms at genus, family, and order levels are thoroughly discussed via refering to CRC-related metagenomic literature. This study not only contributes to our understanding of CRC development, but also highlights the applicability of taxonomy-based G-S-M method in tackling various diseases. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    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, Burcu
    Advances 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.

    CCPred: Global and Population-Specific Colorectal Cancer Prediction and Metagenomic Biomarker Identification at Different Molecular Levels Using Machine Learning Techniques
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024-11) Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Temiz, Mustafa; Inal, Yasin; Cicekyurt, Emre; Yousef, Malik
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Recent research highlights the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in CRC development and progression. Understanding the complex interplay between disease development and metagenomic data is essential for CRC diagnosis and treatment. Current computational models employ machine learning to identify metagenomic biomarkers associated with CRC, yet there is a need to improve their accuracy through a holistic biological knowledge perspective. This study aims to evaluate CRC-associated metagenomic data at species, enzymes, and pathway levels via conducting global and population-specific analyses. These analyses utilize relative abundance values from human gut microbiome sequencing data and robust classification models are built for disease prediction and biomarker identification. For global CRC prediction and biomarker identification, the features that are identified by SelectKBest (SKB), Information Gain (IG), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) methods are combined. Population-based analysis includes within-population, leave-one-dataset-out (LODO) and cross-population approaches. Four classification algorithms are employed for CRC classification. Random Forest achieved an AUC of 0.83 for species data, 0.78 for enzyme data and 0.76 for pathway data globally. On the global scale, potential taxonomic biomarkers include ruthenibacterium lactatiformanas; enzyme biomarkers include RNA 2′ 3′ cyclic 3′ phosphodiesterase; and pathway biomarkers include pyruvate fermentation to acetone pathway. This study underscores the potential of machine learning models trained on metagenomic data for improved disease prediction and biomarker discovery.

    Population Specific Classification of Colorectal Cancer With Meta-Analysis of Metagenomic Data
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-10-11) Temiz, Mustafa; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu
    Advances in next-generation sequencing and '-omics' technologies makes it possible to characterize the human gut microbiome. While some of these microorganisms are important regulators of our immune system, modulation of the microbiota leads to a variety of diseases. Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer worldwide, is caused by genetic mutations, environmental conditions, and abnormalities in the gut microbiota. Using various machine learning methods and meta-analysis techniques, this study aims to build a classification model that can help in CRC diagnosis by analyzing metagenomic datasets of different populations obtained at the species level. Using 8 different countries and 9 different metagenomic datasets, 3 different meta-analyzes are performed: within-population, cross-population, and one population is selected for testing and the rest is used as a training dataset (LODO). For CRC classification, 4 different classification algorithms (Random Forest (RF), Logitboost, Adaboost, and Decision Tree (DT)) are used. The best performance among these methods was obtained with the Random Forest algorithm with an AUC of 0.98 by using JP for the training data set and JPN populations for the test data set in the cross-population performance evaluation. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Blockchain is a reliable and transparent structure formed by distributing the data in blocks connected to each other using various cryptography techniques to other points on the network. The difference from the existing database operations is that the authorities and responsibilities do not exist in a single central authority, and that these powers and responsibilities are distributed to the other nodes in the network and the assignment is shared. To provide this, peer to peer network infrastructure is used. However, at this stage, authentication in terms of security is one of the basic security mechanisms. In this study, a user management system which can be integrated with more reliable and current technologies, which is thought to be the solution to speed problems in blockchain, is proposed. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
