Certain rearrangements show delayed replication timing (DRT) and delayed mitotic condensation (DMC), leading to instability and increased mutagenesis. The Thayer lab hypothesizes these effects result from disruption of cis-acting “inactivation/stability centers” (I/S centers) that regulate replication timing, condensation, and monoallelic expression. This work demonstrates that ASAR6, like Xist, disrupts replication timing and induces chromosome-wide silencing when ectopically integrated. Additionally, a novel locus on chromosome 15 was identified as essential for chromosomal stability. These findings support the existence of I/S centers on all mammalian chromosomes and their role in genome integrity. 000000896 540__ $$fCC BY 000000896 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000896 650__ $$aGenomics$$033016 000000896 650__ $$aDNA Replication$$017991 000000896 650__ $$aGene Expression$$028717 000000896 650__ $$aDNA Replication Timing$$035197 000000896 650__ $$aGenomic Instability$$035232 000000896 650__ $$aNeoplasms$$022758 000000896 650__ $$aChromosome Aberrations$$016677 000000896 650__ $$aChromosomes, Human, Pair 15$$016691 000000896 6531_ $$atumors 000000896 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000896 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000000896 7001_ $$aDonley, Nathan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000896 7201_ $$aThayer, Mathew$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000000896 8564_ $$93a022545-d124-49ba-bda9-289a412b4507$$s65395409$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/896/files/899_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$28eef4ab7bafb931953ce63e1ea4c3515$$31 000000896 905__ $$a/rest/prod/6m/31/1p/34/6m311p341 000000896 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:896$$pstudent-work 000000896 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000896 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
