Abstract

Distinguishing circular RNA (circRNA) reads from reads derived from the linear host transcript is a challenging task because of sequence overlap. We developed a computational approach, CiLiQuant, that determines the relative circular and linear abundance of transcripts and gene loci using backsplice and forward splice junction reads generated by existing mapping and circRNA discovery tools.
