Circular RNA is linked to brain function, scientists have shown for the first time. When a RNA molecule called Cdr1as was deleted from the genome of mice, the animals had problems filtering out ...

“There are few papers where you can really say it’s a breakthrough,” says Sebastian Kadener, a neuroscientist and circRNA researcher at Brandeis University who was not involved in the work. “But this ...

RNA comes in many shapes and sizes. Over the past few decades, researchers have characterized at least two dozen different RNA varieties beyond the textbook classics. But a type of RNA that long flew ...

While hundreds of circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant in mammalian brains, one big question has remained unanswered: What are they actually good for? In the current issue of Science, Nikolaus ...
