Of the 65 lncRNAs, USP30-AS1 and IRF1-AS1 were the most universally up-regulated long non-coding transcripts spanning infection by eight different IAV subtypes, followed by a panel of eight lncRNAs (BCAR4, LINC02880, RFPL3S, NEXN-AS1, LINC00158, MIR155HG, LINC01127, LOC646626) that were differentially expressed in infection by seven different IAV subtypes. The gene discussed is LINC02880; the disease is infection.
