Highly expressed (>2,000 RPM) DE genes in HAM and MDM at 2, 24, and 72 h post <i>M</i>.<i>tb</i> infection.

The common and unique DE genes are separated out. DE genes are defined as those with ≥1.5-fold change of mRNA expression in either direction upon M.tb infection. These genes also meet the criterion of adjusted p = ≤0.05 by edgeR. ‘Common to all’ indicates that these genes are DE genes >2,000 RPM in both HAM and MDM at all three time points, while ‘common to all HAM’ and ‘Common to all MDM’ indicates overlap at all time-points only for HAM or MDM.
