CircRNAs are a novel type of closed circular molecules formed through a covalent bond lacking a 5′cap and 3′ end tail, which mainly arise from mRNA precursor. They are widely distributed in plants and animals and are characterized by stable structure, high conservativeness in cells or tissues, and showed the expression specificity at different stages of development in different tissues. CircRNAs have been gradually attracted wide attention with the development of RNA sequencing, which become a new research hotspot in the field of RNA. CircRNAs play an important role in gene expression regulation. Presently, the related circRNAs research in the regulation of animal muscle development is still at the initial stage. In this review, the formation, properties, biological functions of circRNAs were summarized. The recent research progresses of circRNAs in skeletal muscle growth and development from economic animals including livestock, poultry and fishes were introduced. Finally, we proposed a prospective for further studies of circRNAs in muscle development, and we hope our research could provide new ideas, some theoretical supports and helps for new molecular genetic markers exploitation and animal genetic breeding in future.
