Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Antiviral Microrna Expression Signatures Are Altered in Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2021) Tüfekçi, Kemal Uğur; Allmer, Jens; Çarman, Kürşat Bora; Bayram, Erhan; Topçu, Yasemin; Hız, Semra; Genç, Şermin; Yiş, UluçBackground: Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a chronic, progressive disease caused by a persistent infection of the measles virus. Despite extensive efforts, the exact neurodegeneration mechanism in SSPE remains unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as an essential part of cellular antiviral defense mechanisms and can be modulated by antiviral cytokines Such as interferon-beta (IFN-beta). Aims and Objectives: In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role of antiviral miRNAs in the pathogenesis of SSPE and analyze the interaction between host antiviral miRNAs and virus genes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-seven patients who were followed with SSPE and age-matched healthy children were included in the study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell levels of miR-196b, miR-296, miR-431, and miR-448 were analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Target predictions and pathway constructions of deregulated miRNAs were assessed. Results: Here, we showed that IFN-beta-modulated miR-196b, miR-296, and miR-431 were significantly upregulated in patients with SSPE compared with healthy controls. Besides, sequence complementarity analysis showed that miR-296 and miR-196b predicted binding regions in measles virus genomic RNA. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that antiviral miRNAs are upregulated in patients with SSPE, which could be a part of the host antiviral defense mechanism. </p>Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Dnmso; an Ontology for Representing De Novo Sequencing Results From Tandem-Ms Data(PeerJ Inc., 2020) Takan, Savaş; Allmer, JensFor the identification and sequencing of proteins, mass spectrometry (MS) has become the tool of choice and, as such, drives proteomics. MS/MS spectra need to be assigned a peptide sequence for which two strategies exist. Either database search or de novo sequencing can be employed to establish peptide spectrum matches. For database search, mzIdentML is the current community standard for data representation. There is no community standard for representing de novo sequencing results, but we previously proposed the de novo markup language (DNML). At the moment, each de novo sequencing solution uses different data representation, complicating downstream data integration, which is crucial since ensemble predictions may be more useful than predictions of a single tool. We here propose the de novo MS Ontology (DNMSO), which can, for example, provide many-to-many mappings between spectra and peptide predictions. Additionally, an application programming interface (API) that supports any file operation necessary for de novo sequencing from spectra input to reading, writing, creating, of the DNMSO format, as well as conversion from many other file formats, has been implemented. This API removes all overhead from the production of de novo sequencing tools and allows developers to concentrate on algorithm development completely. We make the API and formal descriptions of the format freely available at https://github.com/savastakan/dnmso.Conference Object Conference Object Enabling the Quantitation of Post Translational Modifications(Springer Verlag, 2009) Allmer, Jens[No abstract available]Conference Object A Cell Division Cycle 7-Related Protein Kinase Inhibitor Suppresses Glioblastoma Cell Growth in Vitro(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Erkan, E.

(IMBio e.V.), 2016) Allmer, Jens; Yousef, MalikThe term MicroRNA or its contraction miRNA currently appears in 21,215 titles of abstracts, published between 1997 and now, available on Pubmed (2016-21-22:12:59 EET). 4,108 of these were published in 2016 alone which signifies the importance of miRNA-related research. MicroRNAs can be detected experimentally using various techniques like directional cloning of endogenous small RNAs but they are time consuming [1]. Additionally, it is necessary for the miRNA and its mRNA target(s) to be co-expressed to infer a functional relationship which is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve [2]. Since experimental approaches are facing such difficulties, they have been complemented by computational approaches [3] thereby defining the field of computational miRNomics.Editorial Citation - WoS: 2Computational Mirnomics - Integrative Approaches(Informationsmanagement in der Biotechnologie e.V. (IMBio e.V.), 2017) Hofestaedt, Ralf; Schreiber, Falk; Sommer, Bjoern; Allmer, JensWith this special issue on Computational miRNomics, we would like to start a new generation of publications in the Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics (JIB). From 2017 onwards, JIB will be published by De Gruyter which is one of the largest Open Access publishers in Germany with a long history. Established in 1918 with roots reaching even further back, the JIB editorial board decided that De Gruyter is the perfect partner to increase the level of professionalism for our publication processing and journal development.Conference Object Preparing Sequence Databases for Application in Proteogenomics(Springer, 2016) Has, Canan; Mungan, Mehmet Direnç; Çiftçi, Cansu; Allmer, JensProteomics involves the identification of proteins from complex mixtures which is performed using mass spectrometry (MS) followed by computational data analysis. MS/MS spectra can either be sequenced de novo if no sequence is available for the proteins in the mixture, or by using database search algorithms such as OMSSA, X!Tandem, and MSGF+.Conference Object Database Normalization Is Crucial for Reliable Protein Identification in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics(Springer, 2016) Has, Canan; Mungan, Mehmet Direnç; Çiftçi, Cansu; Allmer, JensResearch in proteomics is driven by mass spectrometry, especially the identification of proteins from complex samples. Computational analysis of the resulting data determines the peptide sequences of the recorded spectra and integrates identifications into proteins. For this, database search algorithms can be employed, but they need a list of amino acid sequences that are expected to exist in the sample. Many algorithms have been proposed and consensus scoring has been performed. While the comparison/integration among results from different algorithms is important, there has been no attempt to integrate the results from searching multiple databases. This is, however, important since it poses technical problems when all databases, needed for a study, are simply concatenated. Unfortunately, it has been shown that databases of different size influence scoring and prohibit the direct comparison of results.
