CircRNAs are covalently closed loops derived from precursor mRNAs by non-sequential back-splicing. Based on their genomic location, circRNAs can be classified into exonic, intronic, intergenic, and exon-intronic circRNAs （Chen, 2016）. By taking advantages of recent advances in bioinformatics algorithms, a large number of circRNAs have been detected among diverse organisms,展开更多
