Functional Role of Small Extrachromosomal Circular DNA in Colorectal Cancer
2025-08-02
Abstract excerpt
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) are circular DNA molecules that originate from chromosomal DNA but exist independently. While large eccDNA (ecDNA) contributes to tumorigenesis, the role of smaller eccDNA (<100,000 base pairs) in cancer remains unclear. Our analysis of 25 colorectal cancer (CRC) tumors and adjacent non-tumorous tissues revealed that eccDNA is significantly more abundant in tumor tissues, cor...
