Relationships of module eigengenes and the samples. (a) The module-trait relationships. The number in the first row of the square on the right is the correlation coefficient to the UC group shown at the top of each row with the values printed below the correlations in parentheses, and the number on the left is the correlation coefficient to the disease extent (limited or extensive) of the UC group. The rows are colored based on the correlation of the module to the UC group: red for a positive correlation and blue for a negative correlation. (b) The average gene significance (GS) of all genes (i.e., module significance, MS) of each module. Modules with greater MS values were considered to have more connection with the disease.
