Table 4 Functional annotation of differentially expressed genes by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). To investigate possible interactions of the differentially expressed RNAs, the datasets including the 663 upregulated RNAs (A, B, and C) and the 44 downregulated RNAs (D and E) in blastocysts cultured in biphasic (5%-2%) O2 concentration compared with monophasic (5%) O2 concentration were imported in the IPA Tool to identify the top signaling pathways, functions and interactions. A general overview of the pathways linked to embryo and fetal development are presented in the table with the number and the names of transcripts from the datasets that map to each pathway. For A, B, D and E, the right-tailed Fisher's exact test was used by IPA to determine whether the biological attribute was significantly enriched in the dataset (p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant). For C, the two highest consistency scores are presented. The consistency score is an indicator used to describe the causal consistency of the upstream regulatory factor in the network, the dataset and dense connection metric between disease and function.

From: Biphasic (5–2%) oxygen concentration strategy significantly improves the usable blastocyst and cumulative live birth rates in in vitro fertilization
