By using specific computational approaches that identify reads mapped to back-splice junctions with a reversed genomic orientation, ten thousands of cireRNAs have been recently re-identified in various cell lines/tissues and across different species. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that back-splicing is catalyzed by the canonical spliceosomal machinery and modulated by cis-elements and trans-factors. Results: In this mini-review, we discuss our current understanding of circRNA biogenesis regulation, mainly focusing on the complex regulation of complementary sequences, especially Alus in human, on circRNA formation. Conclusions: Back-splicing can be significantly facilitated by RNA pair formed by orientation-opposite complementary sequences that juxtapose flanking introns of circularized exon(s). RNA pair formed within individual introns competes with RNA pair formed across flanking introns in the same gene locus, leading to distinct choices for either canonical splicing or back-splicing. Multiple RNA pairs that bracket different circle-forming exons compete for alternative back-splicing selection, resulting in multiple circRNAs generated in a single gene locus.展开更多

A previous method generates complete complementary sequences with lengths of N^nN (n,N ∈ Z^+). This paper presents a new iterative method to construct complete complementary sequences with lengths of 2^mN (m,N ∈ Z^+). The analysis proves that this method can produce many sequence sets that do not appear in sequence sets generated by the former method, especially shorter sequence sets. The result will certainly increase the application of complete complementary sequences in communication engineering and related fields.展开更多

METHODS Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was combined with DNA sequencing technique. PCR products were purified by agarose gel electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), Polyethylene glycol (PEG) respectively. Then in the presence of a 5′ labeling PCR primer, purified PCR products were directly sequenced. By this method, HCV NS5b cDNA from two HCV infected individuals (HC 42 and HC 49) were sequenced.展开更多

Computer simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves Bit Error Rate(BER) performance as compared to an uncoded system when an HPA is employed or a coded system without predistortion.展开更多
