Fig. 4

Pearson correlation matrices showing the within-breed relationships among the 22 metabolites identified by Boruta (pairwise comparisons) in the analysed pig breeds (Italian Large White, ILW; Italian Landrace, ILA; Italian Duroc, IDU). (a) ILA-IDU comparison; upper triangle: relationships in IDU pigs; lower triangle: relationships in ILA pigs. (b) IDU-ILW comparison; upper triangle: relationships in ILW pigs, lower triangle: relationships in IDU pigs. (c) ILA-ILW comparison; upper triangle: relationship in ILW pigs; lower triangle: relationships in ILA pigs. Metabolites selected in each comparison are indicated with the star (*) symbol. Relevant correlations (|r|≥0.5; regardless of their p-value) are indicated with the dot (●) symbol. Correlation values and associated p-values are reported in Supplementary Tables S3–S5.
