报告题目/Title:

Linking circular RNA biogenesis and function

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Circular RNAs are composed of different types of covalently closed, single-stranded RNA molecules. Recent transcriptomic studies have uncovered the widespread expression of circular RNAs produced from back-splicing of exon(s) of pre-mRNAs. I will discuss both the genome-scale and experimental strategies used to discover and characterize circular RNAs, their diversity and biogenesis, as well as how understanding of the production, structure and turnover of circular RNAs has allowed the appreciation of their unique cellular roles and potential biomedical applications.
