Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) are a promising platform for gene expression studies as a stable and prevalent ribonucleic acid in eukaryotic cells, which arise from back-splicing. In a new report now published in Nature ...
In biology, it has been observed that genetic information flows from genomic DNA to messenger RNA and finally, to the protein. The genetic information embedded within the DNA has been touted as the "Language of Life".
