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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

STAR: ultrafast universal RNA-seq aligner

TL;DR: The Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) software based on a previously undescribed RNA-seq alignment algorithm that uses sequential maximum mappable seed search in uncompressed suffix arrays followed by seed clustering and stitching procedure outperforms other aligners by a factor of >50 in mapping speed.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA targeting specificity in mammals: determinants beyond seed pairing.

TL;DR: Five general features of site context that boost site efficacy are uncovered: AU-rich nucleotide composition near the site, proximity to sites for coexpressed miRNAs (which leads to cooperative action), proximity to residues pairing to miRNA nucleotides 13-16, positioning within the 3'UTR at least 15 nt from the stop codon, and positioning away from the center of long UTRs.
