Cortex cis-regulatory switches establish scale colour identity and pattern diversity in Heliconius

Cortex cis-regulatory switches establish scale colour identity and pattern diversity in Heliconius

In Heliconius butterflies, wing colour pattern diversity and scale types are controlled by a few genes of large effect that regulate colour pattern switches between morphs and species across a large mimetic radiation. One of these genes, cortex, has been repeatedly associated with colour pattern evo...
