Multiple DEGs in the CC assigned to enriched modules were associated with obesity traits in humans in the GWAS catalog. The number of DEGs for the magenta, red, and yellow modules identified by WGCNA illustrates the larger contribution of differential expression by strain over diet. Examples of genes with human homologs associated with obesity traits are shown for each module, where a denotes genes that are significantly correlated with body fat % in the CC
