Circular RNAs (circRNAs) belong to a recently re-discovered species of RNA that emerge during RNA maturation through a process called back-splicing. A downstream 5’ splice site is linked to an upstream 3’ splice site to form a circular transcript instead ...

Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has been widely used to investigate alternative isoform regulations. Among them, alternative 3′ splice site (SS) and 5′ SS account for more than 30% of all alternative splicing (AS) events in higher eukaryotes. Recent studies have ...
