PROJECTS
Master’s Thesis May 2015
Unsupervised gene regulatory network inference was investigated on time-series as well as steady-state data
Microarray data was pre-processed, normalized and obtained analysis read data using R scripts
Time-series expression data tools such as ARACNe, Banjo, Genie3, Time-Delayed ARACNe, and Causality were used to obtain gene network
Steady-state expression data tools such as MCZ, NIR, CLR, and semi-definite programming will be used.
Clustering and Visualizing Expression Data with L1 vs L2 PCA December 2014
The purpose of the project is to learn and get hands on experience in R language
Microarray data was pre-processed, normalized and analysis read data was obtained using R scripts
Principal component analysis (PCA) L1 norm was performed using R package “pcal1”
Three PCA norm L1 methods were compared with traditional norm L2 PCA
Clustering of genes was performed using K-mean, K-median and K-medoid algorithms in R
Improvement of gene clustering was calculated performing Homogeneity average and separation average in R
Prediction on Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Simulated Data May 2014
The purpose of the project is to learn and get hands on experience in Next-Generation Sequencing data
Simulated data of relative risk factor 1.25, 1.5 and 2 was used
SNPs were extracted from data and then SNPs were ranked using Pearson Correlation vs naïve Bayes classifier.
C code was used for Pearson correlation and R package (e1071) for naïve Bayes classifier.
Unsupervised Gene Regulatory Network Inference May 2014
The purpose of the project is to investigate on time-series data to obtain unsupervised gene regulatory network
Microarray data was downloaded from NCBI GEO database and was pre-processed, normalized and obtained analysis read data using R package “affy” and “affydata”
Bioinformatics tool ARACNe was used to identify transcriptional interactions between gene products.
Visualizing tool” cytoscape “was used to obtain gene network
RNA Structure Prediction March 2014
The purpose of the project is to predict and analyze yeast tRNA and of Pseudoknotted RNAse P structure
RNAfold and mfold tools were used for tRNA structure and viewed using visualization tool called varna
pknot tool was used for of Pseudoknotted RNAse P structure and Pseudoviewer tool was used to draw secondary structure for visualization
