  1. DNA concentrations were described as High and Low (High: 50 ng/μL, Low: 25 ng/μL). Wild type condition means untreated standard in vitro production embryo
  2. The percentage of GFP expressing blastocyst was calculated as the number of GFP expressing blastocysts out of the total number of blastocysts
  3. IVM In vitro maturation, IVC In vitro culture, COC Cumulus-oocyte complex
  4. aHigh: Mixture containing 50 ng/μL of the transposon plasmid along with 50 ng/ μL of the transposase plasmid
  5. bLow: A mixture containing 25 ng/μL of the transposon plasmid and 25 ng/μL of the transposase plasmid
