Differential gene expression within endometrial fragments (Cyst), ectopic tissue (Ec) and eutopic endometrium (Eu). A Schematic diagram of the collection of transcriptome sequencing samples. B Three volcano plots of the Cyst, Ec, and Eu groups. The red point represents upregulated genes (log2(fold change) > 1, P < 0.05) with statistical significance, the blue point represents downregulated genes (log2(fold change) < − 1, P < 0.05) with statistical significance, and the grey point in the plot represents genes with no significant differences (− 1 < log2(fold change) < 1, P > 0.05). C The Venn diagram. The blue circle represents the Cyst group. The red circle represents the Ec croup. The green circle represents the Eu group. The number in the circle indicates the number of genes uniquely expressed in each group or co-expressed within groups. D Heatmap of the abundance of the top 100 genes within the Cyst, Ec, and Eu groups. FPKM values are based on log2(fold change). Red and blue indicate high and low expression levels, respectively. Cyst: endometrial fragments in the cyst fluid, Ec: ectopic tissues on the cyst wall, Eu: eutopic endometrium
