Creative Biogene’s IntegrateRNA offers a groundbreaking circRNA knockout service, harnessing the transformative power of CRISPR/Cas9 technology. This service is tailored for researchers aiming to delve deeper into the world of circular RNAs (circRNAs) and their vital roles in various biological processes.

Understanding circRNA

Circular RNAs are unique biomolecules formed through the back-splicing of precursor mRNA, resulting in covalently closed structures. Their expression varies across species, tissues, and developmental stages, indicating their specific and critical functions in health and disease. Research highlights their involvement in significant diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. One of the most compelling reasons to study circRNAs lies in their multifunctional roles, acting as miRNA sponges, protein translation templates, and regulators of transcription.

Despite the recognition of their importance, a substantial number of circRNAs remain unexplored. To facilitate a comprehensive understanding of these molecules, loss-of-function experiments, like CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout, are essential.

Unique Strategies for circRNA Knockout

IntegrateRNA provides two innovative strategies for circRNA knockout:

• Large Fragment Deletion: This approach utilizes two sgRNAs targeting the ends of the circRNA-forming exons, leading to the deletion of significant fragments of the circRNA. However, this method may impact the expression of linear RNAs, as they share overlapping sequences.

• Targeting Intronic Complementary Sequences (ICS): By designing sgRNAs to target intronic sequences flanking the circRNA, this strategy minimizes circRNA generation while preserving the expression of the corresponding protein-coding genes. This targeted removal of intronic ICS can effectively decrease or even completely eliminate circRNA expression, offering a precise method for circRNA knockouts.
