We find evidence of expression for all VR, and almost all OR genes that are annotated as functional in the reference genome, and use the data to generate over 1100 new, multi-exonic, significantly extended
receptor gene annotations.
There was no significant enrichment of
genes in any functional category; however, GO
annotations revealed 34 DEGs involved in biological processes important to the establishment of pregnancy, such as «regulation of apoptosis,» «vasculature development,» «neurogenesis,» «positive regulation of cell differentiation,» «Wnt
receptor signaling pathway,» and «gland development.»
