Deep Characterization of Circular RNAs from Human Cardiovascular Cell Models and Cardiac Tissue
For decades, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death throughout most developed countries.Several studies relate RNA splicing, and more recently also circular RNAs (circRNAs), to CVD.CircRNAs originate from linear transcripts and have been shown to exhibit 143 tissue-specific expression profiles.Here, we present an in-depth
