AKT1 and infection: In addition, several sub-networks in brown and turquoise modules were identified, including mRNAs (such as IRAK1, AKT1, STAT3, CCDC39 and ZMYND10), lncRNAs (such as ENSBTAG00000049936, ENSBTAG00000050527, ENSBTAG00000054306, ENSBTAG00000051242 and ENSBTAG00000049287) as well as miRNAs (such as bta-miR-449a, bta-miR-484, bta-miR-30b, bta-miR-149 and bta-miR-423), as potential pathways/genes that may contribute to the progression of bovine endometritis and could be regarded as biomarkers and therapeutic targets of this infection.
