Heatmap indicating the expression patterns of genes upregulated with a log₂FC of ≥ 1 (A) or downregulated with a log₂FC of ≤ − 1 (B) in the CM compared to the CF embryo group. The Red and blue colours indicate increased and decreased gene expression, respectively, in the CM compared to the CF group. CM1, CM2, CM3, CM4, and CM5 represent biological replicates in the CM embryo group and CF1, CF2, CF3, CF4, and CF5 represent biological replicates in the CF embryo group. Log₂FC: log₂ fold change
