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

06 June 2017 0 9K Report

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.
