Long extrachromosomal circular DNA (leccDNA) regulates several biological processes such as genomic instability, gene amplification, and oncogenesis. The identification of leccDNA holds significant importance to investigate its potential associations with cancer, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. In addition, understanding these associations can provide valuable insights about disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches. Conventionally, wet lab-based methods are utilized to identify leccDNA, which are hindered by the need for prior knowledge, and resource-intensive processes, potentially limiting their broader applicability. To empower the process of leccDNA identification across multiple species, the paper in hand presents the very first computational predictor. The proposed iLEC-DNA predictor makes use of SVM classifier along with sequence-derived nucleotide distribution patterns and physicochemical properties-based features. In addition, the study introduces a set of 12 benchmark leccDNA datasets related to three species, namely Homo sapiens (HM), Arabidopsis Thaliana (AT), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC/YS). It performs large-scale experimentation across 12 benchmark datasets under different experimental settings using the proposed predictor, more than 140 baseline predictors, and 858 encoder ensembles. The proposed predictor outperforms baseline predictors and encoder ensembles across diverse leccDNA datasets by producing average performance values of 81.09%, 62.2% and 81.08% in terms of ACC, MCC and AUC-ROC across all the datasets. The source code of the proposed and baseline predictors is available at https://github.com/FAhtisham/Extrachrosmosomal-DNA-Prediction. To facilitate the scientific community, a web application for leccDNA identification is available at https://sds_genetic_analysis.opendfki.de/iLEC_DNA/.

“…To address this issue, efforts have been made to organize the data and establish databases for information integration. This study has compiled and compared various online databases dedicated to eccDNAs, such as CircleBase ( Zhao et al, 2022 ), eccDNAdb ( Peng et al, 2022 ), eccDNA Atlas ( Zhong et al, 2023 ), EccBase ( Sun et al, 2023 ), and eccDB ( Yang et al, 2023 ), in terms of their design and functionality ( Table 3 ). For instance, CircleBase, as the pioneering eccDNA database, provides comprehensive annotations of 601,036 eccDNAs derived from the human genome.…”

Human extrachromosomal circular DNA, or eccDNA, has been the topic of extensive investigation in the last decade due to its prominent regulatory role in the development of disorders including cancer. With the rapid advancement of experimental, sequencing and computational technology, millions of eccDNA records are now accessible. Unfortunately, the literature and databases only provide snippets of this information, preventing us from fully understanding eccDNAs. Researchers frequently struggle with the process of selecting algorithms and tools to examine eccDNAs of interest. To explain the underlying formation mechanisms of the five basic classes of eccDNAs, we categorized their characteristics and functions and summarized eight biogenesis theories. Most significantly, we created a clear procedure to help in the selection of suitable techniques and tools and thoroughly examined the most recent experimental and bioinformatics methodologies and data resources for identifying, measuring and analyzing eccDNA sequences. In conclusion, we highlighted the current obstacles and prospective paths for eccDNA research, specifically discussing their probable uses in molecular diagnostics and clinical prediction, with an emphasis on the potential contribution of novel computational strategies.
