LncRNAs and CircRNAs from the same gene: Masterpieces of RNA splicing

Accumulating evidence has shown that lncRNAs and circRNAs are novel regulators of gene expression. The discovery of numerous lncRNAs and circRNAs, and investigation into their structures and functions will contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of diseases as well as better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. There is a close relationship between circRNAs and lncRNAs regarding their origins and functions. Recent...
