However, the presence of circRNAs and their expression patterns in human species are not well understood. Computationally identifying circRNAs from RNA-seq data is a primary step to study their expression pattern and biological roles. Here, we have developed computational pipeline named UROBORUS to detect circRNAs in total RNA-seq data. Compared with two available computational approaches, UROBORUS is an easy-to-use and efficient tool that can detect circRNAs with low expression levels in total RNA-seq without RNase R treatment. +Please note that circular RNA does not has PloyA tail, so you can not detect any circRNA in PolyA RNA-seq. You should use PolyA minus or total RNA-seq data to detect circular RNA. + ## Documentation Documentation on the software can be found at http://uroborus.openbioinformatics.org.
