Therefore, 96 ASE genes were identified before MDV infection and 66 were identified after infection, with 11 overlapped genes in total (MCL1, VAV3, PTPRC, RAB8B, ATP13A2, RAB43, CHD2, CD44, NRK, RHOH, and ENSGALG00000026782 (novel gene)), including MCL1. Interestingly, the same alleles located on the intron of MCL1 were also identified. This evidence concerns the gene NRK and infection.
