MAP2K1 and infection: The highest levels of expression were observed at T3 stage for MKK1 (log2CPM = 16.25 vs. 1.62 (mock), log2FC = 3.4), at T1 stage for MKK6 (15.77 vs. 3.05 (mock), log2FC = 2.44), and at T4 stage for CPK1 (11.81 vs. 2.99 (mock), log2FC = 2.01), indicating a robust and sustained response to the MOR infection across different time points (Figure 8B,D,E).
