Extrachromosomal circular DNA is common in yeast

Abstract

Significance: We performed a screen for extrachromosomal circular DNAs containing segments of genomic yeast DNA. We found 1,756 such extrachromosomal circular DNAs containing about 23% of the total yeast genomic information. The abundance of these circular forms of genomic DNA suggests that eccDNA formation might be a common mutation that can arise in any part of the genome, and not in only a few special loci. We propose that eccDNAs may be precursors to the copy number variation in eukaryotic genomes characteristic of both the evolutionary process and cancer progression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
