We validated the RNA-seq data of five selected genes, including MAPK12, COX6A2, NDUFS8, COX2, and ATP6, and found that, compared to the normal group (CK), the expression levels of MAPK12, COX6A2, and NDUFS8 were significantly upregulated in the high infection group (HK), while the expression levels of COX2 and ATP6 were significantly downregulated. Here, MAPK12 is linked to infection.
