Following the intersection of the results from the two datasets, we obtained five up-regulated lncRNAs (LOC100144603, RP11-545G3.1, SCARNA22, TAZ and TIMM8B; Fig. 2K) and six down-regulated lncRNAs (AC003986.7, AK055386, BC013821, DQ786304, LOC647979 and RP11-179H18.2; Fig. 2L) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Here, TIMM8B is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
