The expression, function, and network regulation of circDNAJB6 in chicken macrophages under lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.

Circular RNAs (circRNA) originate from back-splicing events that link a downstream 5'splice site to an upstream 3' splice site. Circular RNA has been shown to be involved in gene expression, interacting with microRNA and RNA binding proteins to affect transcription, splicing, translation, and other processes. However, little is known about the potential function of chicken circRNAs that trigger the pathogenesis.

Identification and functional analysis of in lipopolysaccharide induced chicken macrophages.

1. It was hypothesised that a circular () highly expressed in chicken macrophages plays an important role during bacterial infection.2.
