Milk fatty acids correlated to remodelling and immune response related-genes. Heat map of the correlations between the 78 significantly expressed genes involved in remodelling and immune response-related genes when comparing dairy cows supplemented with unsaturated fatty acid relative to the same cows fed a control diet, and the milk fatty acids content. The 78 immune function-related genes were identified by Ingenuity Pathways Analysis and presented a Fold Change (FC) ≥ 1.3 and a false discovery rate (FDR) q-values < 0.05. The horizontal rows of the map represent genes, whereas the columns represent the different groups of fatty acids. Each pixel represents the correlation value between each gene and group of fatty acids: the colours depict the coefficient of correlation from green (large negative) to red (large positive). * indicates gene signatures that presented a significant correlation with the FA in milk
