Biological interpretation of genes that comprised our genetic score was performed using enrichment analysis using MetaCoreTM (Clarivate Analytics). The enrichment identifies statistically significant pathway maps and gene ontology processes associated with this list of genes after false discovery rate (FDR) correction, to summarize the most enriched and pertinent biology associated with the set of genes under investigation (Huang et al., 2009 (link)). We also performed enrichment analysis to identify genes differentially expressed at different developmental phases, via functional mapping of genetic and expression using the FUMA tool (Watanabe et al., 2017 (link)).
