Microhomology-mediated circular DNA formation from oligonucleosomal fragments during spermatogenesis

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The landscape of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) during mammalian spermatogenesis, as well as the biogenesis mechanism, remains to be explored. Here, we revealed widespread eccDNA formation in human sperms and mouse spermatogenesis.

Characterisation and differences of extrachromosomal circular DNA in cataract patients: a comparison between those with human immunodeficiency virus infection and age-related cataract patients

open access: yesYanke Xuebao
[Objective:] To perform full-length sequencing of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in the lens capsule of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected complicated cataract (CC) and age-related cataract (ARC).

Extrachromosomal circular DNA: a new potential role in cancer progression

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2021
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is considered a circular DNA molecule that exists widely in nature and is independent of conventional chromosomes. eccDNA can be divided into small polydispersed circular DNA (spcDNA), telomeric circles (t-circles),

Instability and Extrachromosomal Circular DNA Formation at Microsatellites and Unstable DNA Sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We have previously documented our evidence of genetic instabilities at the (Pu/Py)78 and (ATTCT)47 sequences and our reasoning for identifying break-induced replication (BIR) as the mode of repair responsible for the mutations in the DNA flanking the ...

Research Advances of Extrachromosomal Circular DNA in Breast Cancer

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 19, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background This article presents an extensive review of the advancements in research concerning extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) within the context of breast cancer. As a distinct form of DNA, ecDNA is critically involved in the initiation, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer.

Formation of extrachromosomal circular DNA from long terminal repeats of retrotransposons in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) derived from chromosomal Ty retrotransposons in yeast can be generated in multiple ways. Ty eccDNA can arise from the circularization of extrachromosomal linear DNA during the transpositional life cycle of ...

Circular DNA elements of chromosomal origin are common in healthy human somatic tissue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Somatic cells can accumulate structural variations such as deletions. Here, Møller et al. show that normal human cells generate large extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs), most likely the products of excised DNA, that can be transcriptionally active ...

Sequence characterization of eccDNA content in multiple blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) populations

open access: yes, 2023
Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass) is a problematic weed of Western European winter wheat and its success is largely due to widespread multiple-herbicide resistance. Previous analysis of F2 seed families derived from two distinct blackgrass populations exhibiting equivalent non-target site resistance (NTSR) phenotypes shows resistance is polygenic and

ECCsplorer: detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) from NGS data

open access: yes, 2020
Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are ring-like DNA structures physically separated from the chromosomes. They have been reported in a broad range of eukaryotes ranging from around 100 bp to several mega base pairs in size. Most of their functions still remain unknown, however some are associated with stress, cancer or aging whilst certain carry

Methods for the purification and detection of single nucleotide KRAS mutations on extrachromosomal circular DNA in human plasma

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2023
Backgrounds Despite recent advances, many cancers are still detected too late for curative treatment. There is, therefore, a need for the development of new diagnostic methods and biomarkers.
