Deregulations of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. Current methods can only capture differential expression lncRNAs at the population level ignore heterogeneous individual patients.We propose a method (LncRIndiv) to identify differentially expressed (DE) patients by exploiting disrupted ordering levels each disease sample comparison with stable normal ordering. LncRIndiv was applied lncRNA profiles lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Based on...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key regulatory roles in breast cancer. However, population-level differential expression analysis methods disregard the heterogeneous of lncRNAs individual patients. Therefore, we individualized lncRNA profiles for invasive carcinoma (BRCA) using method LncRNA Individualization (LncRIndiv). After evaluating robustness LncRIndiv, constructed an differentially expressed (IDElncRNA) profile BRCA and investigated subtype-specific IDElncRNAs. The cancer...
