Abstract
Circular (circ)RNAs have recently become a subject of great biologic interest. It is now clear that they represent a diverse and abundant class of RNAs with regulated expression and evolutionarily conserved functions. There are several mechanisms by which RNA circularization can occur in vivo. Here, we focus on the biogenesis of tRNA intronic circular RNAs (tricRNAs) in archaea and animals, and we detail their use as research tools for orthogonal, directed circRNA expression in vivo.Keywords: Back-splicing; RNA aptamers; circRNA; ectopic gene expression; tRNA processing; tricRNA
