These DEGs could be divided into five groups, namely a) genes found on the macrophages, b) genes associated with natural killer cells, c) genes involved in ASFV infection, d) genes linked with the lymphocytes, e) other genes not linked to virus infection or immunity such as DRAM2, and SOGA1, are reported to be associated with autophagy. The gene discussed is DRAM2; the disease is viral infectious disease.
