Pathways selected in heifers with superior or inferior reproductive performance. Volcano plot for pathways selected after preprocessing with p-adjusted cut-off of 0.05, as shown in (a) 150 and (b) 300 days of age. Pathways whose expression was significantly increased or decreased (p < 0.05, FDR < 0.1) are shown in red or green, respectively. c The calculated causal relationships of the pathways strongly linked with AI number were visualized via linear non-Gaussian acyclic model (DirectLiNGAM) analysis. The arrow indicates a causal relationship trend. The number shows the value of the causal contribution calculated via the DirectLiNGAM analysis. The negative and positive values represent the negative and positive causal contributions, respectively. d Relative abundance of pathways screened by DirectLiNGAM analysis
