Abstract excerpt
Just as eukaryotic circular RNA (circRNA) is a product of intracellular backsplicing, custom circRNA can be synthesized in vitro using a transcription template in which transposed halves of a split group I intron flank the sequence of the RNA to be circularized. Such permuted intron-exon (PIE) constructs have been used to produce circRNA versions of ribozymes, mimics of viral RNA motifs, a streptavidin aptamer,...
