circularRNA Sequencing of HPV16 positive cervical cancer tissues, HSIL tissues and normal cervical epithelial tissues

To explore the circRNA expression profiles during the development and progression of cervical cancer, we performed RNA sequencing analysis with ribosomal RNA-depleted in HPV negative normal cervical epithelium, HPV16 positive normal cervical epithelium, HPV16 positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and HPV16 positive cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues,6 cases in each group.Totally 66868 circRNAs were identified (Back-spliced junctions reads=1) Overall design: RNA sequencing with ribosomal RNA-depleted of HPV negative normal cervical epithelium, HPV16 positive normal cervical epithelium, HPV16 positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and HPV16 positive cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues,6 cases in each group were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina Hiseq4000
