Circular RNA repertoires are associated with evolutionarily young transposable elements
Franziska Gruhl 1, Peggy Janich 1, Henrik Kaessmann 2, David Gatfield 1
Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are found across eukaryotes and can function in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Their biogenesis through a circle-forming backsplicing reaction is facilitated by reverse-complementary repetitive sequences promoting pre-mRNA folding. Orthologous genes from which circRNAs arise, overall … Read more. |
