Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) are circular units of DNA that are found off the chromosomes, either inside or outside the nucleus of a cell. Researchers from Sanger Centre had claimed that ecDNAs in cancer cells are responsible for the drug resistance in cancer. According to research, ecDNA contains numerous copies of cancer genes that help tumors to grow and survive.
