Does reverse transcription of circular RNA yields a circular DNA with random hexamers?

I have seen many papers performing divergent PCR to detect the circular RNA products. I am not sure if the reverse transcription of circular RNA yields circular DNA with random hexamers.

Any suggestion on a problem in sub-culturing H1 human embryonic stem cells with feeder free culture conditions?

I am working on H1 cells, I am sub-culturing in 10 cm dish coated with matrigel at 1:10 split ratio of confluent cells. I am having this frequent problem of cells not getting colonized on 3rd of...

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...
