ESTABLISHMENT OF LUNG TRANSCRIPTOME OF NON INFECTED AND HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUS (HPAIV) INFECTED CROW USING NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING (NGS). Corvus macrorhynchos

The host-pathogen interaction and the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiologic process of HPAIV infection in Crows or other wild birds is still remain largely unknown. Thus, as a first step to explore it, comprehensive global gene expression analysis performed in HPAIV infected and noninfected Crow lung tissue using high through put next generation sequencing.
