Circular RNA and Gene Knockdown

 

A new class of RNA called circular RNAs now joins the popular RNAi as a tool for regulating gene expression. A platform based on circular RNAs, called small circular interfering RNA (sciRNA), has recently been published and consists of a cyclic sense strand annealed to a linear antisense strand. This platform has the potential to reduce off-target effects and enhance nuclease resistance of the interfering RNA.
