MOESM4 of Distinct functional enrichment of transcriptional signatures in pigs with high and low IFN-gamma responses after vaccination with a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)

Additional file 4. Upstream regulators analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis for the HR and LR vaccinated pigs. As described in material and methods section the expression dataset for HR and LR pigs were analysed independently with Fisher’s exact test. To create this dataset, activation z-score| ≥2 for HR and LR pigs were generated and ranked from the highest to the lowest. Data were considered significant with P value < 0.05 and ¦activation Z-score| ≥2. The activation z-score was used to infer the state of activation of upstream regulators based on a comparison with a model that assigns random regulations. Target molecules are shown for each upstream regulator.
