CircRNA deregulated circRNA with greater intensity values in atherotrombotic stroke patients compared with cardioembolic; circRNA_type: the circRNAs are classified into 5 types: “exonic”, “intronic”, “antisense”, “sense overlapping” and “intergenic”; FC absolute ratio (no log scale) of normalized intensities between two conditions; p-value p-value calculated from unpaired t-test; Annotations, include chromosome position and Gene Symbol
