Introductions

Circular RNA Sequencing

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a special type of non-coding RNA molecule, and it is also the latest research hotspot in the RNA field. Different from traditional linear RNA (linear RNA, containing 5'and 3'ends), circRNA molecules are in a closed loop structure, which is not affected by RNA exonuclease, and their expression is more stable and not easily degraded. Some circRNAs are rich in microRNA (miRNA) response elements (MRE), which can play the role of competitive endogenous RNA, bind to miRNAs, and act as miRNA sponges in cells, inhibit miRNAs from functioning and regulate gene expression levels. Circular RNA also has temporal and spatial specificity and evolutionary conservation. These characteristics show that circRNA may play an important role at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Circular RNA sequencing is more and more widely used in the fields of medicine and agronomy.
