• Specific Circular Junction Probes

Reliably and accurately identify individual circRNAs, even in the presence of their linear counterparts (Fig. 1).

circRNA2

Figure 1. Arraystar circRNA Array V2.0 uses specific circular junction probes to accurately and reliably detect each individual circRNAs, even in the presence of their linear counterparts. The linear RNA at the bottom is alternatively processed to generate a circular variant above. A probe is designed to target the circRNA-specific junction site, where the 5' end of exon A joins together with the 3' end of exon B.

• Detailed annotation for circRNA-miRNA association

Annotation of potential miRNA target sites on the circular RNAs helps to unravel their functional roles as a natural miRNA sponge (Fig. 2).

• The preferred choice over RNA-sequencing, as RNA-seq is currently inadequate for such task due to the particular properties of circular RNA.    Learn more >

1) Circular junction read counts are only a fraction of the circular RNA. They are much lower than the linear RNA at the same abundance level.

2) For detection of the circular RNA presence, a few reproducible counts are required. But for quantification, at least hundreds of read counts are required.

3) Even with combined large datasets and studies, most of the known circular RNAs have just a few read counts. Count numbers at these levels are not nearly sufficient for differential expression analysis.
In short, circular RNA sequencing can be used for novel discovery by a few read counts, but is inadequate for differential expression analysis even at modest abundance levels.

Figure 3. RNA-seq quantification reliability vs read depth. Typical RNA-seq has a depth of < 30 mil reads for mRNAs (blue circle), which is  < 0.5 mil for cross circular junction reads (red circle). Less than 5% circular junctions can be reliably quantified. Adopted from Labaj et al, (2011) Bioinformatics [PMID 21685096].

• Guaranteed performance

- Better sensitivity: Low abundance RNAs are accurately detected with a wide dynamic range of over 5 orders of magnitude (Fig. 4).

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a novel type of RNA that, unlike linear RNA, forms a covalently closed continuous loop, some of which are highly represented in the eukaryotic transcriptome. Most of these circRNAs are generated from exonic or intronic sequences, are conserved across species, and often show tissue/developmental-stage-specific expression. Circular RNAs are more stable than linear RNAs owing to their higher nuclease stability, which constitutes an enormous advantage from a clinical point of view as a novel class of biomarkers. In addition, circRNAs have been shown to function as natural miRNA sponge transcripts, the so-called competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in diverse species. Their interaction with disease associated miRNAs suggests the potential importance of circular RNAs in disease regulation.

To facilitate the analysis of circRNAs, Arraystar has developed the first commercially-available circRNA arrays for human , mouse and rat. In order to detect circRNAs comprehensively and reliably, we have updated the circRNA repertoire represented in the previous Version 1.0 and launched the newly designed V2.0.

It is the only practical platform for highly sensitive and specific circular RNA profiling available for biologists with a complete from RNA sample to publishable data service. To learn more about the publications by our clients, click here.
