Each column respectively presents information about: 1) KEGG identifier, 2) description of the gene (from KEGG), 3) gene name abbreviation, 4) metabolic pathways in which this gene participates, 5) mean relative abundance of the microbial gene in 42 animals, 6) the partial least squares (PLS) estimate of the regression coefficient using three latent variables, 7) the variable importance in projection (VIP) calculated during the PLS analysis using three latent variables, and 8) the cluster in which the microbial gene was allocated in the final network. 1Microbial genes excluded from the final network due to the 0.80 minimum correlation threshold. NC, Microbial genes not clustered in the final network. Information retrieved from: 2KEGG database, 3NCBI database, 4BioCyc database, and 5UniProt database. The genes in this table explained 65.4% of the variation in ADG (average daily gain). Rows colored in gray correspond to genes simultaneously identified for both FCR (feed conversion ratio) and ADG prediction.
