A critical discussion of our findings shows benefits but also limitations of the meta-analytic approach. In summary, the produced gene lists, identified gene ontology terms and network reconstructions appear to be more reliable than the results from the individual studies. Our meta-analysis provides a basis for further research on the transcriptional mechanisms by WNV infections in neurological tissues.
