The observed upregulation of GAS5, NORAD, BISPR, and NEAT1 in dRNA-seq of infected Calu-3 cells (1.03- and 1.11-fold) is consistent with upregulation of these lncRNAs in COVID-19 patients (1.05- and 1.17-fold) in the two datasets (GSE171110 and GSE157103). The gene discussed is NEAT1; the disease is COVID-19.
