Identification of Circular RNAs using RNA Sequencing

[Overview of Circular RNA Research]
Abstract:
The fact that RNA could take circular form was discovered as early as 1 976.For a long peri-od,circular RNAs (circRNAs)had been viewed as outliners of transcripts.With the development of sec-ond generation RNA sequencing and bioinformatics,recent studies have revealed that circRNAs are prev-alent,with high degree of conservation,and with cell specificity in eukaryotes.Increasing lines of evi-dence indicate that circRNAs,rather than being noise of splicing,have essential biological functions in a seriers of regulatory events,and may even be related to the etiology of some human diseases.

This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

Dynamics of Circular Motion
Any acceleration must be produced by some force. Therefore, any force or combination of forces can cause centripetal acceleration. A few examples include the tension in the rope on a...
