    Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most frequent inherited peripheral neuropathy in humans with a prevalence of 1 in 2500. It comprises a large group of genetically heterogeneous hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies ...
  • Kaya, Ahmet Burak. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    In vertebrates, an individual olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) expresses only one allele of one olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a huge genomic repertoire. The molecular mechanism governing “one neuron-one receptor rule” ...
  • Şimşek, Büşra. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Bi-directional communication between axon and Schwann cell is vital to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelination process. Disruption of this highly regulated communication is the main underlying reason of peripheral ...
  • Kazcı, Yusuf E.. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    In vertebrates, each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) of the nose expresses only a single allele of a single molecular chemoreceptor gene from a large genomic repertoire. This monogenic mode of olfactory receptor (OR) ...
  • Sancer, Gizem. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    In the olfactory system, each olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) typically expresses only one allele of a single olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a vast genomic repertoire. The mechanisms of OR gene choice, however, are not ...
  • Kartal, Ece. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and ataxias belong to a large group of disorders, characterized by progressive neuronal cell death in specific ...
  • Tufan, Ahmet Buğra. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Melanoma is derived from melanin pigment producing cells which are known as melanocytes. Late stage, metastatic melanoma is considered as one of the most aggressive malignancies with one of the worst prognosis. IRF4 belongs ...
  • Ersoy, Burcu. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common complications of diabetes and in advanced stages it is characterized by vascular abnormalities and neuronal degeneration. It is widely accepted that the functional changes ...
  • Kıral, Ferdi Rıdvan. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    CG7985 is one of the four hexosaminidases encoded by the Drosophila genome. Although the other three hexosaminidases have been well-characterized in terms of their enzymatic activities and metabolic pathways in which they ...
  • Duru, Nadire. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2006., 2006.)
    Autozygosity mapping is a frequently used powerful method for discovering loci for autosomal recessive diseases resulting from consanguineous marriages. Gene localization is an initial step for the identification of genes ...
  • Yalçınkaya, Mustafa. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a family of cytoplasmic proteins with members regulating inflammation and apoptosis. NLRP13 is a novel PYRIN domain containing NLR family member and the roles of NLRP13 in these pathways is ...
  • Çapar, Serdar. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    For most of the last century, it was believed that neurogenesis is limited to embryonic development and does not occur in the adult nervous system. However, it is now an established fact that neurogenesis also occurs in ...
  • Bali, Burak. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    The olfactory epithelium (OE) provides a unique exception to the limited ability of the nervous system to regenerate itself. Olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) are directly exposed to the outside world, prone to environmental ...
  • Niron, Harun. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Soil salinity has been one of the major problems in agriculture for many years. Nearly 20% of all cultivated land and half of irrigated land of world soil are saline and these levels are expected to rise in the future which ...
  • Çoban, Büşra. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Neurogenesis in the adult nervous system is a limited process in higher vertebrates. The olfactory epithelium (OE) is an exception to this limitation and maintains the ability to regenerate lost neurons throughout the ...
  • Şen, Nesli Ece. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 is an autosomal dominant movement disorder caused by trinucleotide expansions in the ATXN2 gene (>34 CAG repeats). Intermediate expansions of 26-39 repeats are considered as risk factors for ...
  • Afshar, Ulduz Sobhi. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4) is a key transcription factor in development and function of immune cells. Also it has been shown that elevated IRF4 expression is a key factor for survival in some myeloid and lymphoid ...
  • Erdoğan, Volkan. (Thesis (M.S.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2015., 2015.)
    Genome sequencing technologies are advancing at a very fast rate. Output of those technologies is large amounts of data that is inconvenient for manual analysis. There are statistical and machine learning methods to make ...
