Factor analysis for putative targets of miRNAs. There were 203 candidate genes and a four-factor model was fit. The genes that loaded with a value greater than 0.40 are listed here. For each factor, the first column is the gene symbol name from [37] and the second column is the loading value for that gene. Genes are considered as loading 'significantly' if the absolute value of the loading value is ≥ 0.40. Genes are considered as loading 'high' if the absolute value of loading value is ≥ 0.70. The third column for each factor is the the P-value for the individual gene expression value regression on male body size (p₁).
