Moreover, we used GEPIA 2 analysis (http://gepia2.cancer-pku.cn/#analysis) to find similar genes of LINC01116 in BLCA tumors, and then ELK3 and HOXD8 were predicted as the top two protein-coding genes that were positively correlated with LINC01116 (with the score > 0.5) (Fig. 3c, d). The gene discussed is ELK3; the disease is bladder transitional cell carcinoma.
