Angiogenesis at 20 dpc and immune cell designation at 27 dpc were the top differential gene expression pathways. At 20 dpc, differential gene expression of seven (gene names highlighted in red) out of 19 genes with confidence intervals (CI) indicating lower gene expression in the preterm group as compared to the term group were observed in the angiogenesis pathway (a). At 27 dpc, the category of immune cell designation showed nine of the sixteen genes that had CI’s with higher gene expression in the preterm group compared to the term group (b).
