Indeed, we observed that previously identified regulators of TB proliferation and differentiation (e.g., ASCL2 (8, 29), GJB5 (30)), chorioallantoic attachment (e.g., CCNF (31), ITGA4 (32)), and nutrient transport (e.g., GJB2 (33), IGF2 (34)) showed timepoint-specific patterns that matched with our predictions (Fig 1A). Here, ASCL2 is linked to tuberculosis.
