(A) Venn diagram showing the overlap in expression of the 800 most differentially expressed genes relative to high singers when comparing males and females. B) Heatmap generated by rank-rank hypergeometric overlap analysis comparing high-singing and low-singing males and females in the medial preoptic area (mPOA) with p-values indicating the significance of the overlap between the top 800 most differentially expressed genes within each quadrant. Warmer colors represent higher proportions of overlap, while cooler colors represent lower portions of overlap. Examples of perfect correlations and perfect anti-correlations are included above for reference. The mPOA shows very similar expression profiles in males and females, with significant overlap in concordant gene expression, but no significant overlap in discordant gene expression
