New insights into mitochondria-encoded circular RNAs and their functions
Abstract
Mitochondria-encoded circular RNAs (mecciRNAs) are a newly identified class of RNAs present across animal species. Recent advances have improved their identification and characterization. Here, we highlight the current knowledge of mecciRNAs, particularly in mammals, where they have been implicated in multiple physiological and pathological processes.
