a The uniform and random distribution of eccDNA across chromosomes. b A direct correlation between the quantity of eccDNA and the chromosomal length. c The association between eccDNA and various genomic regions with six data points per group for both eccDNA and Random. Statistical significance is highlighted by p values, with asterisks denoting significance levels (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001). d The proportion of genes overlapping with eccDNA. e The percentage of eccDNA associated with a singular gene, and eccDNA spanning two genes. f The predominant type of overlapping genes associated with a single eccDNA molecule. g Comparison of gene-containing eccDNA (GcE) and eccDNA-containing genes (EcG). h Venn diagram of BP GO terms enriched in genes overlapped by eccDNA across six unique tissues. i A list of the shared BP GO terms among these genes, primarily involved in biological stress and cellular metabolism.
