Item mirLSTM: A Deep Sequential Approach to MicroRNA Target Binding Site Prediction(2019) Paker, Ahmet; Ogul, Hasan; HJH-2307-2023MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small and non-coding RNAs of similar to 21-23 base length, which play critical role in gene expression. They bind the target mRNAs in the post-transcriptional level and cause translational inhibition or mRNA cleavage. Quick and effective detection of the binding sites of miRNAs is a major problem in bioinformatics. In this study, a deep learning approach based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) is developed with the help of an existing duplex sequence model. Compared with four conventional machine learning methods, the proposed LSTM model performs better in terms of the accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, specificity, AUC (Area under the curve) and F1 score. A web-tool is also developed to identify and display the microRNA target sites effectively and quickly.Item Computer-Aided Breast Cancer Diagnosis from Thermal Images Using Transfer Learning(2020) Cabioglu, Cagri; Ogul, HasanBreast cancer is one of the prevalent types of cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have vital importance for patients. Various imaging techniques are used in the detection of cancer. Thermal images are obtained by using the temperature difference of regions without giving radiation by the thermal camera. In this study, we present methods for computer aided diagnosis of breast cancer using thermal images. To this end, various Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been designed by using transfer learning methodology. The performance of the designed nets was evaluated on a benchmarking dataset considering accuracy, precision, recall, F1 measure, and Matthews Correlation coefficient. The results show that an architecture holding pre-trained convolutional layers and training newly added fully connected layers achieves a better performance compared with others. We have obtained an accuracy of 94.3%, a precision of 94.7% and a recall of 93.3% using transfer learning methodology with CNN.
