Abstract
Background: Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) has emerged as a central focus in molecular biology, with various types being found across species through advanced techniques, including high-throughput sequencing. This dynamic molecule exerts a significant influence on aging and immune function and plays pivotal roles in autoimmune diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer, and genetic disorders.
Summary: This comprehensive review investigates the classification, characteristics, formation processes, and multifaceted functions of eccDNA, providing an in-depth exploration of its mechanisms in diverse diseases.
Key messages: The goal of this review was to establish a robust theoretical foundation for a more comprehensive understanding of eccDNA, offering valuable insights for the development of clinical diagnostics and innovative therapeutic strategies in the context of related diseases.
期刊介绍：
During the last decades, ''Cytogenetic and Genome Research'' has been the leading forum for original reports and reviews in human and animal cytogenetics, including molecular, clinical and comparative cytogenetics. In recent years, most of its papers have centered on genome research, including gene cloning and sequencing, gene mapping, gene regulation and expression, cancer genetics, comparative genetics, gene linkage and related areas. The journal also publishes key papers on chromosome aberrations in somatic, meiotic and malignant cells. Its scope has expanded to include studies on invertebrate and plant cytogenetics and genomics. Also featured are the vast majority of the reports of the International Workshops on Human Chromosome Mapping, the reports of international human and animal chromosome nomenclature committees, and proceedings of the American and European cytogenetic conferences and other events. In addition to regular issues, the journal has been publishing since 2002 a series of topical issues on a broad variety of themes from cytogenetic and genome research.
