BAMBI and cancer: Genes within ECDs and LCDs (Supplementary Table 2) include cancer-related genes such as ETS1, FOXP2 and BAMBI. Notably, 46.88% of ECD and 47.37% of LCD genes have ‘lincRNA’ status based on GENCODE 19 with LCD genes being significantly enriched in lincRNAs (test of equal proportion, p = 0.00001128).
