Genetic correlation network between operational taxonomic units (OTU) and fat content (FC) and milk fatty acids, namely, butyric acid (C4:0), caproic acid (C6:0), caprylic acid (C8:0), capric acid (C10:0), lauric acid (C12:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (c9-C18:1), rumenic acid (c9t11-C18:2) and alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3). The nodes represent OTU (in colors associated to the corresponding families where rare families with one OTU are not represented) and dairy traits (in white). The diameter of the nodes is proportional to the number of genetic correlations, and the thickness and color of the edges represent values (− 0.97 to − 0.34 and 0.35 to 0.99) and signs (in green positive and in red negative ones) of the genetic correlation, respectively
