Interestingly, pathway analysis yielded several pathways related to DNA damage sensing/DNA repair (ATR signaling pathway, Fanconi anemia pathway, p53 effectors) and cell cycle regulation (E2F transcription factor network, targets of C-MYC transcriptional repression), indicating that lincDUSP may be involved in regulation of the DNA damage response and/or cell cycle progression (Fig. 4C; Supporting Data File 3). Here, ATR is linked to Fanconi anemia.
