To compare the expression of lncRNAs UCA1, GAS5, NORAD, BISPR, and NEAT1 in the initial cellular phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection with the systemic level observed in COVID-19 patients these lncRNAs were quantified on Illumina cDNA (RNA-seq) sequencing data and compared to dRNA-seq data (Supplementary Table S7). Here, NEAT1 is linked to COVID-19.
