Study of 110 additive log-ratio transformed microbial gene abundances (alr-MGs) host-genomically influenced and correlated with N3 and CLA indices in the same direction. A Genomic correlations (RG) between alr-MGs and N3 and CLA indices in beef, classified by COG functional modules of the alr-MG numerators. Host genomic correlation estimates, and the names of the microbial genes are provided in Table S3. Co-abundance network analysis of B corrected phenotypic values or C estimated genomic breeding values for microbial gene abundances. Different colours indicate different clusters: 1 (green), 2 (orange) and 3 (blue). Edges correspond to the absolute Pearson correlation value between alr-MGs > l0.30l, and the thickness of the edges increases with the correlation size. The nodes represent alr-MGs and their size corresponds to the node degree (number of incident edges per node). D Thirty-one out of the 110 alr-MGs selected for breeding purposes classified along clusters and functions. Colours represent their position in the genomic co-abundance network analysis.
