Transposons modulate transcriptomic and phenotypic variation via the formation of circular RNAs in maize
2017-01-15
Abstract excerpt
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed, single-stranded RNA molecules. Recent studies in human showed that circRNAs can arise via transcription of reverse complementary pairs of transposons. Given the prevalence of transposons in the maize genome and dramatic genomic variation driven by transposons, we hypothesize that transposons in maize may be involved in the formation of circRNAs and further modulate p...
