Analysis of multiple tissue network for non-esterified fatty acids. a) Distribution of probeset connectivity in the multiple-tissue network. b) Box plot of standardized inter-tissue connectivity of genes in the five tissues i.e. backfat (FATB), gonad (GONA), adenohypophysis (AHYP), thyroid (THYG) and hypothalamus (HYPO). c) Heat map for the multiple-tissue network, color shades i.e., from white to red represent the correlation strength between a pair of probesets; different modules are indicated by different colors in the row and column box, and ordered by size (the module labels are shown on top of the graph); the genes within modules in the rows and columns are sorted according to their intramodular connectivity. d) A subset of the multiple-tissue network containing nodes that are QTT for NEFA in the five tissues; here, the nodes represent the top 10% probesets with the highest intramodular connectivity in each of the four modules; node colors denote the tissues: red (hypothalamus), blue (adenohypophysis), yellow (gonad), cyan (thyroid) and green (backfat); two nodes were connected with an edge if their correlation was significant (nominal P < 10-4, FDR < 0.05), the pink (blue) edge indicates a positive (negative) correlation.
