Fig. 6.
Heatmap of ICM markers clustering. Highly expressed genes are shown in red, and minimally expressed genes are shown in blue. Thirty-eight specific transcripts in the ICM (FPKM<1 in TE and FPKM>10 in IT) were identified. The level of expression of most of these genes were significantly reduced in the ICM of NT-LW and NT-D embryos, and they were not expressed in the TE of NT-LW and NT-D embryos.
