circRNA Formation

(A) Lariat-driven circulation, proposed by Jeck et al.,4 gives rise to circRNAs from lariat intermediate structures, which are produced during exon skipping. (B) Intron-pairing-driven circularization is a more direct circRNA formation and involves hybridization of flanking introns, which brings splice sites in close proximity.
