Fig. 1

The volcano plots illustrate the differentially expressed lnRNAs (a) and differentially expressed mRNAs (b) during the acute and chronic stages of infection. The x-axis represents the log₂ fold change of the differentially expressed transcripts, while the y-axis represents the corresponding −log₁₀ Q-value. Upregulated transcripts are indicated in red, downregulated transcripts are indicated in blue, and transcripts that do not meet the significance threshold are displayed in gray
