### 1.5 CircRNA

Circular RNAs are derived from back-spliced exons. They exist as individual RNA molecules and have the potential to be translated into proteins. We are then interested in finding the possible peptide sequences translated from circRNAs with and without variants (SNP, INDEL, etc). In this case, circRNAs per se are rather new transcripts than variants. Here we define a TSV file format to represent the circRNA molecules. In this TSV format, each row represents a circRNA, with the gene ID it is associated with, the start position at the gene, the offset and length of each segment, and IDs. Normally each segment is an exon, but with intron-retained alternative splicing, there could be introns.
