(a) Differentially expressed genes during early and late infection of Vero cells with ASFV strain BA71V are categorised according to function: early (down-regulated) and late (up-regulated) genes are indicated in blue and red, respectively. (b) Venn diagram of highest 17 expressed ASFV genes detected in the blood of GRG-infected pigs using RNA-seq by Jaing et al. [64]. The two lower sectors correspond to 20 genes most expressed during early (5 h, left) and late (16 h, right) infection of Vero cells, regardless of differential expression, characterised by CAGE-seq [58]. Genes are colour-coded according to their predicted functional group (as in (a)): the group ‘information processing’ is a combination of ‘Transcription/RNA modification’, NA metabolism/DNA replication & repair’ and Genome organisation’.
