Table 2.

List of circRNAs involved in mastitis disease of the mammary gland in bovine models. All information (Model of study, circRNA, pattern, target miRNA, and respective target mRNA) in each row was obtained from the reference cited. Each row would thus present a circRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis. A maximum of 4 miRNA/mRNA targets were included in the respectively referenced paper in each row, with the full list in the original paper. Each circRNA was written as cited in its respective research paper. CircRNAs nomenclature varies between ID, Alias, chromosomal position, or referring to its parental gene. The rows are referred to as numbered from 1–7. (-) indicates that this information wasn’t available in the reference data
