Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Gene transcription is an essential step in protein expression and fundamental understanding cell function and malfunction. Although our understanding of its underlying mechanisms has increased considerably during the last decade, determining the specific regulatory elements targeting the expression of a given gene remains a challenge. The development of next generation sequencing technologies enabled international consortia like the ENCODE project to produce vast amounts of high-throughput data. The ENCODE project made publicly available sequencing data on dozens of different tissues, and several biological features, including more than a hundred transcription factors. Due to the significant size and detail of these data, manual inspection is impractical, requiring automatic methods to perform this task. Here we present a computational pipeline to apply machine learning techniques to the high-throughput data available at the ENCODE repositories. We measure gene regulatory features from ChIP-seq data, and infer gene expression levels from RNA-seq data. Then, we apply linear regression analyses to model every protein-coding gene, and explore the predictive power of gene regulatory features for gene expression levels. Ultimately, we show the potential of using existing data and its contribution to further understand gene regulatory features. Our genome-wide regression analysis indicates that gene expression is not related to a linear combination of regulatory elements, but may be better modelled with a quadratic function. Further data will be necessary to accurately define the role i that each regulatory feature plays on the initiation of gene transcription.
