SLC6A2 and viral infectious disease: We conducted a KEGG network analysis to delineate the interconnections among the 36 identified genes and identified genes related to synaptic vesicle cycle (slc6a2, slc6a4, and slc6a5), long-term depression (Ppp1r17 and Grid2), and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction (Grid2, Glra1, and Gabra6) (Figure 3D). In conclusion, our comprehensive RNA-seq analysis has unveiled significant changes in host gene expression following viral infection.
