Recent scientific literature confirms that circular RNAs can be translated into proteins and peptides through various cap-independent mechanisms.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently state that circular RNAs (circRNAs), despite previously being considered non-coding, can be translated into proteins or peptides via mechanisms like IRES or m6A modifications, directly supporting the claim.
