Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), an extrachromosomal circular structured DNA, is extensively found in eukaryotes. Investigating eccDNA at the single-cell level is crucial for understanding cellular heterogeneity, evolution, development, and specific cellular functions. However, high-throughput identification methods for single-cell eccDNA are complex, and the lack of mature, widely applicable technologies has resulted in limited resources. To address this gap, we built scEccDNAdb, a database based on single-cell whole-genome sequencing data. It contains 3 195 464 single-cell eccDNA entries from human and mouse samples, with annotations including oncogenes, typical enhancers, super-enhancers, CCCTC-binding factor-binding sites, single nucleotide polymorphisms, chromatin accessibility, expression quantitative trait loci, transcription factor binding sites, motifs, and structural variants. Additionally, it provides nine online analysis and visualization tools, which enable the creation of publication-quality figures through user-uploaded files. Overall, scEccDNAdb is a comprehensive database for analyzing single-cell eccDNA data across diverse cell types, tissues, and species. Database URL: https://lcbb.swjtu.edu.cn/scEccDNAdb/.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), a pervasive yet enigmatic component of the eukaryotic genome, exists autonomously from its chromosomal counterparts. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, eccDNA plays a critical role in the orchestration of cellular processes and the etiology of diseases, particularly cancers. However, the full scope of its influence on health and disease remains elusive, presenting a rich vein of research yet to be mined.

Background: Primary liver cancer has significant intratumor genetic heterogeneity (IGH), which drives cancer evolution and prevents effective cancer treatment. CRISPR/Cas9-induced mouse liver cancer models can be used to elucidate how IGH is developed. However, as CRISPR/Cas9 could induce chromothripsis and extrachromosomal DNA in cells in addition to targeted mutations, we wondered whether this effect contributes to the development of IGH in CRISPR/Cas9-induced mouse liver cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) are circular DNA molecules that come from genomic DNA but exist outside of chromosomes, varying in size from hundreds to millions of base pairs.
- A notable type, ecDNA, is often found in cancer cells and has been crucial for understanding cancer progression, evolution, and drug resistance.
- The text reviews advancements in identifying eccDNAs using next-generation sequencing, discusses two types (microDNA and ecDNA), and explores integrating ecDNA research with single-cell analysis to enhance our knowledge in this area.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is a special class of DNA derived from linear chromosomes. It coexists independently with linear chromosomes in the nucleus. eccDNA has been identified in multiple organisms, including Homo sapiens, and has been shown to play important roles relevant to tumor progression and drug resistance.
