For mastitis, all of the top five predictive GO terms, “negative regulation of apoptotic process”, “response to lipopolysaccharides”, “negative regulation of protein binding”, “positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process”, and “cellular response to interferon-gamma”, have previously been suggested to be associated with mastitis in transcriptome studies on specific tissues (e.g., liver and mammary gland) of cows with and without intra-mammary infection [22–25]. Here, IFNG is linked to mastitis.
