Engineering highly efficient backsplicing and translation of synthetic circRNAs

Abstract excerpt

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are highly stable RNA molecules that are attractive templates for expression of therapeutic proteins and non-coding RNAs. In eukaryotes, circRNAs are primarily generated by the spliceosome through backsplicing. Here, we interrogate different molecular elements including intron type and length, Alu repeats, internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs), and exon length essential for circRNA...
