Using Reactome, an open source, peer-reviewed pathway database, we analyzed genes contained in the MEgreen module negatively correlated with cbFFA in the WGCNA analysis. The p-value and FDR reported belong to the pathway with the most significant p-value listed in that specific system. The pathways reported are all the pathways with a p-value <0.05 in the Reactome analysis for all the genes listed in MEgreen.
