Description
Maternal plasama colected longitudinally were profiled using targeted sequencing (DriverMapâ„¢) (https://www.cellecta.com) to evaluate changes with gestational age and with labor in normal pregnancy. Overall design: The study included normal pregnancies with (TIL) (n=8) and without (TNL) (n=8) spontaneous labor at term. Half of the women in each group had 3 longitudinal samples taken from 12.1-40.3 weeks of gestation, while the other half of women had only one sample taken at term before delivery, for a total of 32 samples. Note that Sample_26 was considered contaminated and hence data for that sample was not included in downstream analyses.
