  1. NS, non-significant.
  2. *LncRNA nomenclature, genomic positions and sense or antisense orientation were from UCSC genome browser, arrow after genomic position indicates direction of transcription.
  3. R2 is from Pearson’s linear regression analysis, P indicates significance that the slope of the line is non-zero.
  4. kb of protein-coding gene away from lncRNA and if transcribed in sense or antisense direction relative to neighbouring lncRNA.
  5. Significant associations between expression of lncRNA and neighboring protein-coding genes are indicated by bold.
