I expect the tricky part, or at least a tricky part, is distinguishing an ecDNA circle from healthy chromosomal DNA. More speculatively, bacterial DNA looks kind of similar, and you don't want to indiscriminately kill your gut bacteria.



The mitochondria also have circular DNA, exclusively. I wonder how similar these forms are.
