Fig. 1. Identification of circRNAs expressed in coronary artery tissue from control and Kawasaki disease groups. (A) The procedure used to identify circRNAs in the control and Kawasaki disease samples. Based on data from the GSE64486 dataset, the expression level of circRNAs in each group was calculated using the DCC algorithm and differentially expressed circRNAs were selected for further study.¹³,¹⁶ (B) Average expression counts of highly expressed circRNAs. circRNAs with normalized average counts greater than 10 are shown. (C) The number of circRNAs produced from each gene was calculated.

circRNA, circular RNA.
