GALNT8 and cancer: In the human cancer transcriptome library MiTranscriptome, we identified GAU1 as the top upregulated lncRNA in colorectal cancer (CRC) by sample set enrichment analysis (overexpression ranking percentile = 99.75%, P < 10−50), which is coexpressed with the potential oncogene GALNT8 (Spearman rho = 0.67, P = 2.44 × 10−23, TCGA dataset n = 184).
