Small circRNAs with self-cleaving ribozymes are frequently expressed in metazoan transcriptomes

2019-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Ribozymes are catalytic RNAs present in modern genomes but considered as remnants of a prebiotic RNA world. The paradigmatic hammerhead ribozyme (HHR) is a small self-cleaving motif widespread from bacterial to human genomes. Here, we report that most of the classical type I HHRs frequently found in the genomes of diverse animals are contained within a novel family of non-autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons. These...
