The upregulation observed of GAS5, NORAD, BISPR, and NEAT1 in dRNA-seq of infected Calu-3 cells (between 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). This evidence concerns the gene BISPR and COVID-19.
