Neuronal Signal Transduction-Involved Genes in Pig Hypothalamus Affect Feed Efficiency as Revealed by Transcriptome Analysis

Figure 3

Correlation analysis of DE genes and lincRNAs in the hypothalamus of high- and low-FE groups. (a) WGCNA modules of DE gene-lincRNA expression patterns. (b) Correlation analysis between DE genes (abscissa axis) and lincRNAs (vertical axis) with WGCNA. In the colour bar, the darker the colour is, the more relevant the gene is. (c) Heat map of correlation analysis with the Pearson correlation coefficient between DE genes and lincRNAs. Positive and negative correlations are represented by red and blue, respectively. (d) Venn diagram of the WGCNA and Pearson correlation of DE gene-lincRNA pairs. (e) Pearson correlation coefficient analysis of DE gene-lincRNA pairs. Positive and negative correlated pairs are represented by red and blue, respectively. (f) The correlation of DE gene-lincRNA pairs was identified by qPCR. The value of and represents RNA-seq results.
