In the past years, circular RNAs (circRNAs) became a major focus of many studies in animals and plants. circRNAs are generated by backsplicing from the same linear transcripts that are canonically spliced to produce, for example, mature mRNAs. They exhibit tissue-specific expression pattern and are potentially involved in many diseases, among them cardiovascular diseases. However, despite the tremendous efforts to establish circRNA catalogues, much less is known about the biological function …
