Abstract
Provided are a circular RNA construct and application thereof. The circular RNA construct has a structure represented by formula I in the 5′-3′ direction: TI-Z1-Z2 (I), wherein TI is a translation initiation element, Z1 is an expression cassette for exogenous protein expression, and Z2 is nothing or another element.
