Circular RNA and tumor microenvironment
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with a unique ring structure and play important roles as gene regulators. Disturbed expressions of circRNAs is closely related to varieties of pathological processes.

Circular RNA identified from Peg3 and Igf2r. [PDF]
Circular RNA is a newly discovered class of non-coding RNA generated through the back-splicing of linear pre-mRNA. In the current study, we characterized two circular RNAs that had been identified through NGS-based 5'RACE experiments.

CiLiQuant: Quantification of RNA Junction Reads Based on Their Circular or Linear Transcript Origin
Distinguishing circular RNA reads from reads derived from the linear host transcript is a challenging task because of sequence overlap. We developed a computational approach, CiLiQuant, that determines the relative circular and linear abundance of ...

A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]
Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...

Engineering circular RNA regulators to specifically promote circular RNA production
Background: A large number of circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been discovered in the mammalian transcriptome with high abundance, which play vital roles in gene regulation, thereby participating in the development of multiple diseases. However, the biogenesis, regulation, and especially manipulation of circRNAs still remain largely unknown.

Circular RNA—Is the Circle Perfect?
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a distinct class of non-coding RNA produced, in principle, using a back-splicing mechanism, conserved during evolution, with increased stability and a tissue-dependent expression.

Circular RNAs in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Their Microarray-Based Identification, Analytical Validation, and Potential Use in a Clinico-Genomic Model to Improve Prognostic Accuracy [PDF]
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) may act as novel cancer biomarkers. However, a genome-wide evaluation of circRNAs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has yet to be conducted. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify and validate circRNAs in

Identification of G-quadruplex DNA/RNA binders: Structure-based virtual screening and biophysical characterization [PDF]
Background Recent findings demonstrated that, in mammalian cells, telomere DNA (Tel) is transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA), which is involved in fundamental biological processes, thus representing a promising anticancer target. For

Characterizing Expression and Regulation of Gamma-Herpesviral Circular RNAs
Multiple herpesviruses have been recently found to encode viral circular RNAs. Like cellular circular RNAs, these RNAs lack poly-A tails and their 5′ and 3′ ends have been joined, which confers protection from RNA exonucleases. We examined the expression
