Circular RNAs: history, metabolism, mechanisms of function, and regulatory roles at a glance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules that, due to their covalent ring structure and lack of free ends, have a very high intracellular stability compared to their linear counterparts. In general, circRNAs are expressed in mammalian cells and exhibit tissue/cell-specific expression patterns. Mounting evidence is indicative that circRNAs regulate a variety of cellular processes by acting as miRNA sponges, transcriptional regulators, protein sponges, molecular scaffolds, and protein/peptide translators. The emergence of the biological functions of circRNAs has brought a novel outlook to our better understanding of cellular physiology and disease pathogenesis. CircRNAs have also been shown to play a critical role in the occurrence, development and progression of cancers. Their participation in the pathophysiology of various diseases including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurological disorders is very important. Such characteristics have led to more studies investigating circRNAs as promising tools in molecular medicine and targeted therapy.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
