Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), a pervasive yet enigmatic component of the eukaryotic genome, exists autonomously from its chromosomal counterparts. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, eccDNA plays a critical role in the orchestration of cellular processes and the etiology of diseases, particularly cancers. However, the full scope of its influence on health and disease remains elusive, presenting a rich vein of research yet to be mined. Unraveling the complexities of eccDNA necessitates a distillation of methodologies — from biogenesis to functional analysis — a landscape we overview in this study with precision and clarity. Here, we systematically outline cutting-edge methodologies from high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics to experimental validations, showcasing the intricate world of eccDNAs. We combed through a treasure trove of auxiliary research resources and analytical tools. Moreover, we chart a course for future inquiry, illuminating the horizon with potential groundbreaking strategies for designing eccDNA research projects and pioneering new methodological frontiers.
