Expression of each gene was calculated using the RNA-Seq by Expectation-Maximization (RSEM, http://deweylab.github.io/RSEM/, accessed on 13 October 2022). The criteria for DEGs were the same as described in our precious report [59 (link)]. The DEGs were used for gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) against the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/, accessed on 13 October 2022).
