Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are considered as functional biomolecules with tissue/development-specific expression patterns. Generally, a single gene may generate multiple circRNA variants by alternative splicing, which contain different combinations of exons and/or introns. Due to the low abundance of circRNAs as well as overlapped with their linear counterparts, circRNA enrichment protocol is needed prior to sequencing. Compared with numerous algorithms, which use back-splicing reads for detection and functional characterization of circRNAs, original bioinformatic analyzing tools have been developed to large-scale determination of full-length circRNAs and accurate quantification. This review provides insights into the complexity of circRNA biogenesis and surveys the recent progresses in the experimental and bioinformatic methodologies that focus on accurately full-length circRNAs identification. |
