IDENTIFICATION OF GENE NETWORKS AND CLASSIFIER GENES INVOLVED IN PIG RESPONSES TO PRRSV INFECTION AND GROWTH MAINTENANCE

Objective

The specific objectives will be 1) Identify differentially expressed (DE) genes in blood in response to PRRSV infection; 2) Determine putative gene sets and pathways that predict a pig¿s ability to clear PRRSV infection and maintain weight gain; and 3) Validate utility of gene sets and pathways for prediction of responsiveness to PRRSV infections in multiple populations.
