Molecular mechanisms of extrachromosomal circular DNA formation
27 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Recent research reveals that eukaryotic genomes form circular DNA from all parts of their genome, some large enough to carry whole genes. In organisms like yeast and in human cancers, it is often observed that extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) benefits the individual cell by providing resources for rapid cellular growth. However, our comprehension of eccDNA remains incomplete, primarily due to their...
