Analysis of Intron Sequences Reveals Hallmarks of Circular RNA Biogenesis in Animals

TLDR
The data support a model of animal circRNA biogenesis in which competing RNA-RNA interactions of introns form larger structures that promote circularization of embedded exons, whereas ADAR1 antagonizes circRNA expression by melting stems within these interactions.

The biogenesis, biology and characterization of circular RNAs.

TL;DR: Advances in high-throughput RNA sequencing and circRNA-specific computational tools have driven the development of state-of-the-art approaches for their identification, and novel approaches to functional characterization are emerging.

Circular RNA profiling reveals an abundant circHIPK3 that regulates cell growth by sponging multiple miRNAs

TL;DR: The results provide evidence that circular RNA produced from precursor mRNA may have a regulatory role in human cells and characterize one abundant circRNA derived from Exon2 of the HIPK3 gene, termed circHIPK3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of circRNA biogenesis

TL;DR: Current understanding of the regulation of circRNA biogenesis is highlighted, including both the competition between splicing and back-splicing and the previously under-appreciated alternative circularization.

Circular RNA: A new star of noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: Similar to miRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), circRNAs are becoming a new research hotspot in the field of RNA and could be widely involved in the processes of life.

The genetics of caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe methods for the isolation, complementation and mapping of mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans, a small free-living nematode worm.

Circular RNAs are a large class of animal RNAs with regulatory potency

TL;DR: It is found that a human circRNA, antisense to the cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 transcript (CDR1as), is densely bound by microRNA (miRNA) effector complexes and harbours 63 conserved binding sites for the ancient miRNA miR-7.

Natural RNA circles function as efficient microRNA sponges

TL;DR: This study serves as the first functional analysis of a naturally expressed circular RNA, ciRS-7, which contains more than 70 selectively conserved miRNA target sites, and is highly and widely associated with Argonaute proteins in a miR-7-dependent manner.

TL;DR: Estimates of the induced mutation frequency of both the visible mutants and X chromosome lethals suggests that, just as in Drosophila, the genetic units in C. elegans are large.
