Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as pivotal players in RNA therapeutics. Unlike linear counterparts, circRNAs possess a closed-loop structure, conferring them with enhanced stability and resistance to degradation. This resilience makes them promising candidates for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The ribozyme-based strategy stands out as the predominant method for synthetic circRNA production. In this strategy, ribozymes (catalytic RNA molecules) facilitate the circularization process by precisely cleaving and promoting the formation of a covalent circular structure. In the report, we detail analytical methods for circRNA vector engineering to enhance circularization efficiency. This approach will capture the attention of researchers interested in optimizing RNA circularization efficiency, as well as those focused on exploring key elements for ribozyme catalytic activity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
