New mechanisms: RNA modification and circular RNA. (a) RNA with m6A and intron modifications forms a secondary structure for forward splicing into linear RNA. (b) RNA with m6A but no intron modification forms a secondary structure for back splicing into circRNA. (c) The presence or lack of modifications leads to differential recognition by the immune system.
