Table 2. Statistics of DEGs.

DEGs	Normal state versus mid-term state	Normal state versus VPNC state	Mid-term state versus VPNC state	Initial phase	Latter phase	Whole process	Type I	Type II	Type III
BM-LA14526	122	109	173	32	53	11	21	42	11
BM-LA14527	261	303	348	77	143	8	69	135	8
BM-LA14528	107	109	7	82	1	0	82	1	0

DEGs in the initial phase: common DEGs in normal state versus mid-term state and normal state versus VPNC state groups; DEGs in the latter phase: common DEGs in mid-term state versus VPNC state and normal state versus VPNC state groups; DEGs in the whole process: DEGs both in the initial and latter phase.
