Many of the novel DLBCL lncRNAs are tumor-specific. a Selected novel lncRNA candidates were quantified for FPKM levels across each sample group. Filtering based on FPKM cutoff of FPKM >0.1 in at least two samples, in each sample group, respectively, showed 785 lncRNAs commonly expressed in tumors, normal, and cell lines. Also 763 lncRNA expressed in tumors and cell lines, while 142 lncRNAs expressed in normal and tumor, with 942 of the lncRNAs expressed uniquely only in tumors. b Number of lncRNAs expressed per sample with each sample group, plotted to show the expression across each sample group – with normal B cell sample group with higher average number of lncRNA expressed per sample, followed by tumor sample group and then cell lines. c An example of lncRNAs with exceptionally high expression (> = 10 standard deviation above mean) in specific tumor samples (out of 45 such lncRNAs) across all tumor samples
