Unravelling the genes forming the wing pattern supergene in the polymorphic butterfly Heliconius numata
Abstract Background Unravelling the genetic basis of polymorphic characters is central to our understanding of the origins and diversification of living organisms. Recently, supergenes have been implicated in a wide range of complex polymorphisms, from adaptive colouration in butterflies and fish to...
