Overlaps between pheromone-related genes and those of Alaux et al

Alaux et al. [36] used a microarray to characterize brain gene expression differences related to long-term exposure to BP (i.e. primer pheromone effects) at two time points, 5 days (BP5) and 15 days (BP15). Shown here are the results of a hypergeometric test between the DEGs related to BP in the present study and in Alaux et al. at each time point. There was a significant overlap between DEGs in the present study and the 15-day treatment in Alaux et al

*significantly greater overlap of genes than expected by chance; P < 0.05; hypergeometric test
