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 ...

Formed by back splicing or back fusion of linear RNAs, circular RNAs (circRNAs) constitute a new class of non-coding RNAs of eukaryotes. Recent studies reveal a spliceosome-dependent biogenesis of circRNAs where circRNAs arise at the intron-exon junctions of mRNAs.

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

Circular RNA Regulation of Myogenesis
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a novel class of non-coding RNA generated by pre-mRNA back splicing, which is characterized by a closed-loop structure. Although circRNAs were firstly reported decades ago, their regulatory roles have not been discovered until ...

Cost-Effective Transcriptome-Wide Profiling of Circular RNAs by the Improved-tdMDA-NGS Method
Covalently closed circular RNAs are neoteric to the eukaryotic family of long non-coding RNAs emerging as a result of 5′–3′ backsplicing from exonic, intronic, or intergenic regions spanning the parental gene.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed RNAs that are present in all eukaryotes tested. CircRNAs are less abundantly expressed than mRNAs. Recent RNAseq analyses indicate that more than 800,000 circRNA isoforms exist in humans, which is more than twice the number of currently known mRNA isoforms. CircRNAs are generated through backsplicing that

In pace with the development of gene sequencing technology and transcriptome research, it has been found that 70 to 90% of the human genome is transcribed into RNAs, while only 2% of RNAs encode proteins. This implies that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) may exert vital biological functions and a full analysis of non-coding transcriptomes is needed.

Emerging evidence demonstrates that dysregulation of circular RNA is linked to tumorigenesis and aggressive progression. However, its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma remains largely uncharacterized.

Circular RNAs in Heart Failure [PDF]
Abstract Cardiovascular disease, and particularly heart failure, is still a serious health care issue for which novel treatments and biomarkers are needed. The RNA family comprises different subgroups, among which the small-sized microRNAs and the larger long non-coding RNAs have shown some potential to aid in moving personalized ...
