Correlation matrix of module eigengene values obtained for mRNAs and phenotypes. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) groups genes into modules based on patterns of gene co-expression. Each of the modules was labelled with a unique color as an identifier. Twenty-two modules were identified; each module eigengene was tested for correlation with meat and carcass traits. Within each cell, upper values are correlation coefficients between module eigengene and the traits; lower values are the corresponding p-values.
