By analyzing TCGA breast cancer dataset with the online database Starbase (http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/panCancer.php), we identified positive correlations between the RNA expression of TINCR and HER-2, TINCR and Snail-1 in breast cancer, while a negative correlation was found between TINCR and miR-125b expression (Fig. 9d). Here, TINCR is linked to breast cancer.
