Among the regions shortlisted using our approach, we found some previously characterized cancer-related lncRNAs such as PVT1, localized downstream of the MYC locus (Tseng et al., 2014), or CCAT1/CARLo-5 (Kim et al., 2014), located in an amplified region upstream of the MYC locus. Here, PVT1 is linked to cancer.
