DEGs and enriched transcriptional pathways of cellular biological processes in palates of mice 33 days after being orally inoculated with N. musculi vs mock-inoculated controls. (A) Volcano plot of DEGs between inoculated mice (n = 4) and controls (n = 4; screening thresholds: adjusted P value < 0.05). (B) Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed and revealed significantly enriched pathways in palate tissue from inoculated mice vs controls related to biological processes (screening threshold: adjusted P value < 0.05). (C) Cnet plot of GO biological process enrichment of DEGs of palate tissue of inoculated vs control mice shows distinct connections between biological processes resulting from colonization with N. musculi.
