Circular RNAs: Coding or noncoding?

abstract：:Kinesins are microtubule-based motors involved in various intracellular transports. Neurons, flagellated cells, and pigment cells have been traditionally used as model systems to study the cellular functions of kinesins. Here, we report silkworm posterior silkgland (PSG), specialized cells with an extensive endomembra...
