The expanding regulatory mechanisms and cellular functions of circular RNAs
Many protein-coding genes in higher eukaryotes can produce circular RNAs (circRNAs) through back-splicing of exons. CircRNAs differ from mRNAs in their production, structure and...
microRNA Functions
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play important roles in posttranscriptional gene regulation. In animal cells, miRNAs regulate their targets by translational inh...
Circular RNAs Act as miRNA Sponges
Majority of RNAs expressed in animal cells lack protein-coding ability. Unlike other cellular RNAs, circular (circ)RNAs include a large family of noncoding (nc)RNAs that lack th...
Transcriptome-wide discovery of circular RNAs in Archaea
Circular RNA forms had been described in all domains of life. Such RNAs were shown to have diverse biological functions, including roles in the life cycle of viral and viroid ge...
Circular RNA: metabolism, functions and interactions with proteins
Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) are single-stranded, covalently closed RNA molecules that are ubiquitous across species ranging from viruses to mammals. Important advances have been ma...
