A mobile circular DNA element drives memory-related processes in mice
Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (ecDNAs) are double stranded, closed loop DNA molecules that act independently of the genome. Here we report the discovery of a brain-enriched ecDNA, ecCldn34d, that regulates the transcriptional state of plasticity-related genes and is temporally associated with the stability of fear memories. ecDNA therefore represents a novel class of mobile DNA elements that are involved in experience-dependent neuroadaptation.
