Article Citation - WoS: 30Machine Learning Methods for Microrna Gene Prediction(Humana Press, 2014) Saçar, Müşerref Duygu; Allmer, JensMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, small, noncoding RNAs of about 22 nucleotides in length, which control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level through translational inhibition, degradation, adenylation, or destabilization of their target mRNAs. Although hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in various species, many more may still remain unknown. Therefore, discovery of new miRNA genes is an important step for understanding miRNA-mediated posttranscriptional regulation mechanisms. It seems that biological approaches to identify miRNA genes might be limited in their ability to detect rare miRNAs and are further limited to the tissues examined and the developmental stage of the organism under examination. These limitations have led to the development of sophisticated computational approaches attempting to identify possible miRNAs in silico. In this chapter, we discuss computational problems in miRNA prediction studies and review some of the many machine learning methods that have been tried to address the issues.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Modeling of Polygalacturonase Enzyme Activity and Biomass Production by Aspergillus Sojae Atcc 20235(Springer Verlag, 2009) Tokatlı, Figen; Tarı, Canan; Ünlütürk, Mehmet; Göğüş, NihanAspergillus sojae, which is used in the making of koji, a characteristic Japanese food, is a potential candidate for the production of polygalacturonase (PG) enzyme, which of a major industrial significance. In this study, fermentation data of an A. sojae system were modeled by multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) approaches to estimate PG activity and biomass. Nutrient concentrations, agitation speed, inoculum ratio and final pH of the fermentation medium were used as the inputs of the system. In addition to nutrient conditions, the final pH of the fermentation medium was also shown to be an effective parameter in the estimation of biomass concentration. The ANN parameters, such as number of hidden neurons, epochs and learning rate, were determined using a statistical approach. In the determination of network architecture, a cross-validation technique was used to test the ANN models. Goodness-of-fit of the regression and ANN models was measured by the R 2 of cross-validated data and squared error of prediction. The PG activity and biomass were modeled with a 5-2-1 and 5-9-1 network topology, respectively. The models predicted enzyme activity with an R 2 of 0.84 and biomass with an R 2 value of 0.83, whereas the regression models predicted enzyme activity with an R 2 of 0.84 and biomass with an R 2 of 0.69.
